Sugar Creek Arts Festival
Join
us for the 25th Annual Sugar Creek Arts Festival July 12 and 13,
2008 in Uptown Normal! Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday
and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Arts and crafts vendors from
across the country will display their talents and products at
one of the most popular juried art and craft festivals in the
Midwest.
Besides arts and crafts items you won’t find in stores or at mall art fairs, many Uptown businesses feature special sales. Good food and drink is available from Uptown restaurants and specialty food vendors, and a variety of entertainment is provided for your listening pleasure.
This festival is sponsored by the Uptown Normal Business Association, the McLean County Arts Center, WGLT-FM and the Town of Normal. There is no charge to attend the festival. For information on entry to this juried festival, contact the McLean County Arts Center at www.mcac.org or (309) 829-0011. For other information, call (309) 454-9557 or email swesterdahl@normal.org.
