Milwaukee, Wisconsin 

Since its beginning in 1963, LFOA has evolved to become one of the top ten juried art festivals in the country, featuring work by more than 175 artists, including jewelry, painting, sculpture, photography, and more. A variety of family-friendly programs and activities are scheduled throughout the weekend as well. 

All of the artwork is in a massive 60,000-square foot tent and in the Art Museum itself, to stay safe and dry should the elements have their say.  

Stay all day to also enjoy:

• Live music and entertainment, gourmet foods and beverages at the outdoor stage. Friday night rocks until 10 pm. 
• Milwaukee Magazine Wine Garden - Relax beneath the Art Museum's world-famous Calatrava-designed "wings" and enjoy a glass of wine while overlooking the festival grounds and the stunning Lake Michigan shore
• Blue Moon Beer Garden
• Children's interactive activities including performances and hands-on art projects

Plenty of nearby parking and free shuttles are available to bring you to the festival.
