Hazel Park Art Fair 2026

The Hazel Park Art Fair, held annually at Green Acres Park, is a community celebration that brings together artists and art enthusiasts for a weekend of creativity. Organized by the Hazel Park Arts Council, this event offers local artists a chance to showcase their work, engage with the community, and share their artistic passion.

The Hazel Park Arts Council, a non-profit committed to fostering the arts in the area, plays a key role in organizing the fair. Their mission is to support local artists and provide cultural experiences for residents, helping create a platform for artists while nurturing a thriving arts scene in Hazel Park.

Set in a beautiful outdoor venue, the fair features a variety of art forms, including paintings, photography, jewelry, and crafts. Artists can display and sell their original works, offer live demonstrations, and interact with visitors. The event also includes food vendors, a charity craft beer tent, circus performers, and live demonstrations, making it a family-friendly celebration of creativity.

With its welcoming atmosphere and dedication to supporting local talent, the Hazel Park Art Fair has become a key cultural event in the community, offering an unforgettable experience for both artists and visitors.

There is limited space in several pavilions for artists who may not have a tent. A paved parking lot is on site with handicap parking, and special event parking is provided in the adjacent baseball field. Bike racks are also available. The park is located behind the Hazel Park Community Center. Signs will be placed to guide you, and guests, to the entrance.

WEATHER
This is a rain-or-shine event. Your booth must be open for the duration of the event. The fair will be held unless the event management (or municipal official) determines that there is a threat to safety.

Artists must bring their own tent and tent weights to secure their tent against inclement weather. Tent stakes are not enough as the ground in the park can be too soft to hold or too hard to stake in many areas. The Hazel Park Arts Council will not provide tables, tent weights, etc. and is not responsible for damage to tent, displays, artwork, or personal belongings.

BOOTH IMAGE REQUIREMENTS

• The purpose of the booth images is to ensure that you have a complete body of work, which is represented in the images submitted with your application and to give the planning committee an idea of your overall presentation at the fair. 
• All images submitted with the application should represent the current body of work to be exhibited and sold at the HPAF.
• The booth display image should represent your current tent and display to be used for exhibition at the fair.
• We recommend visiting the ZAPP blog on booth images here for help taking booth images. 

PETS
Animals are permitted at the Hazel Park Art Fair but must be under control at all times, with dogs on no more than a 6' leash, and you must clean up after your pet. We ask pet owners to please be considerate of other fair artists and guests.
