The Wausau Festival of Arts has celebrated its annual outdoor art festival since 1965. Held in Wausau’s beautiful downtown, on the 400 Block and 3rd Street, the Festival proudly features 120 juried fine artists from Wisconsin and across the United States who display their works of art for sale and compete for awards.
Patrons can enjoy two days of music and entertainment, featuring local favorites, regional and national performers. Local non-profit organizations continue to provide food vending at our two food courts, located on Jefferson and McClellan Streets, offering a variety of delicious food and beverage choices.
In addition to fine art, entertainment and good food, the Festival offers a family art tent with hands on art projects, a special market for young art enthusiasts and a scholarship silent auction.
The Festival of Arts is proud to be a part of Wausau’s nationally recognized Artrageous Weekend.
