Interested in Volunteering at the Chesterton Art Fair?
Chesterton Art Fair is a premier juried art festival with a deep history of providing a stellar experience for both participating artists and visitors. In its 66th year, Chesterton Art Fair draws artists and patrons from all over the Midwest and beyond. The Fair features 80+ artists, live music, family activities, food vendors and free parking for our almost four thousand visitors.
Always the first full weekend in August, this year’s dates are August 2 and 3, 2025, and fair hours are 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturday, and 10 AM to 4 PM on Sunday. Chesterton Art Fair is held in beautiful Dogwood Park, a municipal park with plenty of shade trees and amenities. The Fair is accessible to all, and handicap parking is available.
Animals are not permitted at Chesterton Art Fair unless they are service animals.

Proceeds from the fair support Chesterton Art Center (CAC), a non-profit arts organization providing high-quality educational and outreach programs that serve hundreds of students of all ages, a calendar of exhibitions that showcase local and regional artists, and various community events and partnerships that bring the arts to the Duneland community and beyond.
