FREE!!! The legendary family fest returns for 2016! Presented by Sixpoint Brewery, ArtiGras is an authentic family fest like no other in the region, celebrating the culture and arts of New Orleans in grand style.

Last year, more than 7,000 visitors, 150 musicians & performers, and 100 artists flooded the streets and galleries of Railroad Square to celebrate the vibrant arts and culture of New Orleans -- recreating the famous “street fair”atmosphere right here in Tallahassee. There was even a musical crowd parade with more than 1000 participants! This year’s event will be even bigger, and we want you!
