Rutland’s Main Street Park
We hope that you will consider being a part of Vermont’s oldest continuing arts tradition as a sponsor of the 64th Annual Art in the Park Festivals this year, August 9 & 10 and October 11 & 12. As in the past, the event is held in Main Street Park with over 6000 people attending to browse the fine art and fine craft booths, sample specialty foods, eat at our food vendors, take in the live music and free activities for children. Hours: Saturday 10-5; Sunday 10-4. The shows not only attract people who live within driving distance, but also the thousands of tourists who travel Routes 4 & 7.
