Lewiston's signature event, now in its 51st year, features work by more than 175 exceptional artists in a wide range of fine art and artistic craft media in this juried art show. Located just five miles north of Niagara Falls, the charming streets of picturesque Lewiston have long attracted visitors to our unique shops, galleries and restaurants.

Meet the artists one-on-one and enjoy more than 20,000 original works of art including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, fiber, glass, wood, mixed media and photography. From functional to surreal, one-of-a-kind and limited edition art works form an unparalleled collection that can only be seen once a year.

Center Street becomes pedestrian only for the 2-day festival. Don't miss "College Alley" featuring student artwork. Make your own art at the ArtZone, and visit the Chalk Walk competition.
