The Shelby Township Art Fair will be celebrating its 43rd anniversary in 2026. The fair, which is co-hosted by Shelby Township and the Art Fair Committee and the Shelby Township Parks and Recreation Department and supported by generous sponsors, provides a great experience for over 15,000 visitors who come from near and far each year to enjoy the weekend’s festivities. This includes over 120 artist and marketplace vendors. There is also tasty food, musical entertainment, a kid’s craft and activity area, and more.
The Art Fair Committee is excited to announce the return of the fair at the beautiful River Bends Park. Entry and parking is free at this location which provides a large area for exhibitors and entertainment, lots of free parking in the lot at the park, and additional free parking nearby with convenient free shuttle buses. This lovely park with plenty of mature trees, flat grassy areas, and three pavilions has been a favorite place to hold special events for years.
River Bends Park is located at 5700 22 Mile Road, between Shelby and Ryan Roads and the fair hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
