DENVER — One of the country’s biggest art festivals returns this weekend in Denver.
The 32nd annual Cherry Creek Arts Festival will be held Saturday through Monday at Denver's Cherry Creek North.
Over the Independence Day holiday weekend, more than 255 national and international artists will appear at the festival as well as more than a dozen live music performers.
Free and open to the public, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival will also have food and drinks, interactive art experiences and a creation station for children.
The Cherry Creek Arts Festival is produced by year-round nonprofit organization CherryArts.
“This year’s festival has a distinct, fresh feel, with 56 of the 255 juried artists joining us for the very first time,” said Tara Brickell, executive director of CherryArts. “We’re thrilled to share an amazing group of artists with the public and continue our year-round mission of bringing art to everyone.”
