55th Annual Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art

September 26th & 27th from 10:00 AM to 5:00PM, join us in historic downtown Madison, Indiana along the Ohio River between Broadway and Vine Street. Over 215 arts and craftspeople will showcase their paintings, drawings, sculptures, wood carvings, baskets, jewelry, glass, textiles, pottery, artisan foods, soaps, leather, and more. No matter what your budget is, you can find something at the Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art.

When you come down to enjoy the festival, don’t forget to bring your appetite. Attendees can grab a wide variety of festival foods or delicious treats from one of the more than 20 vendors at the Riverfront FoodFest. After you grab your meal, find a shady spot at one of our picnic tables along the Ohio river and watch the boats go by.

As you are shopping and strolling along the 10 blocks of exhibitors, you can experience the musical performances placed throughout the festival as well. Featuring many local and regional musicians, there is a wide variety of musical talent to enjoy.

This festival truly is for the whole family, although pets do need to stay at home. Whether you are looking for that special piece of art for your home, something good to eat, some good music to enjoy, something for the kids to do, or a nice cold beverage, Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art strives to have a something for everyone
