Prairie Arts Festival

From Prairie Arts Festival Website:

A greatly anticipated annual event in West Point and the surrounding area is the Prairie Arts Festival. The Festival is held each year on the Saturday before Labor Day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in West Point's downtown. Including Fine Arts, Crafts, down-home southern cooking, four stages of live music, Classic Cars, Kidsville, and much more, the Prairie Arts Festival features more than 600 exhibits.

The festival has been recognized as one of the top ten events in the south, and is one of the largest arts and crafts festivals in the country.

Registration for the festival begins in June each year. Applications for the Fine Arts category (except for previous PAF cash award winners) must submit photos of their work prior to registration for judging. Registration is by mail, all fees must be paid in advance, and no refunds are possible. The show will be held rain or shine.
