Get matched →59th Annual Ann Arbor State Street District Art Fair Marketplace
July 15-17, 2027
Downtown Ann Arbor, MI
The Ann Arbor State Street District Art Fair (SSDAF) is one of three official fairs that comprise the award-winning Ann Arbor Art Fair , presented by the State Street District for nearly 60 years. The fair transforms downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan into one of the most celebrated art fair destinations in the country. The Art Fair has drawn over 400,000 visitors during three days in July, offering a dynamic cultural experience that showcases the best fine art and handcrafted goods. Together, the fairs create a massive open-air gallery that stretches across 30 city blocks of charming streets, attracting collectors, art lovers, and tourists from around the world.
The Marketplace, located exclusively within the State Street District section of the Ann Arbor Art Fair, traces its origins back to Bargain Days , the original event that sparked the Ann Arbor Art Fair. Centrally located within the State Street District Art Fair, the Marketplace is adjacent to the fine art section and showcases artisanal crafts, handmade goods, and locally-inspired products in a lively setting of Ann Arbor's historic theatre district.
Join a tradition more than five decades in the making and connect your brand with one of the Midwest's marquee summer events.
