Village Fine Arts Fair – Milford, Michigan
May 30, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Central Park | Downtown Milford
The Village Fine Arts Fair is a juried fine arts fair presented by the Village Fine Arts Association (VFAA) and the Suzanne Haskew Arts Center (SHAC) and held in the heart of downtown Milford’s newly renovated Central Park. This one-day event celebrates exceptional handmade artwork while showcasing the historic charm, walkability, and cultural vibrancy that define Milford.
Central Park, recently reimagined as a true community gathering space, provides a picturesque and welcoming setting along the Huron River. With its scenic landscape, central downtown location, and proximity to shops, restaurants, and year-round community programming, Central Park has quickly become a cultural highlight of the village and an ideal backdrop for a fine arts-focused event.
The Village Fine Arts Fair is intentionally designed to be artist-centered. The focus of the day is on high-quality, original artwork, meaningful interaction between artists and patrons, and a positive experience for both exhibitors and attendees. Additional activities may complement the event, but the artists and their work remain the centerpiece.
The fair will take place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, with public hours from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The event sponsors will provide many volunteers to help vendors carry their supplies to their booth.
Artist setup: 7:00 AM – 9:30 AM
Artist teardown: 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM
