Love it or hate it…it’s almost here! The annual Ann Arbor Art Fairs will bring half a million visitors to the city for several days this week. For those of you unfamiliar with the Fairs, there are actually four non-profit fairs - The Original, Ann Arbor Street Art Fair; the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair; the State Street Art Fair; and Ann Arbor’s South University Art Fair.
Not only will you find art exhibits, you’ll find children’s activities and musical performances for your enjoyment. The Annual Townie Party is tonight at the Terrace to help raise funds, and the setup on Wednesday night always draws a good local crowd as well.
This year, Visit Ann Arbor.org has added the Ann Arbor Art Trolley to the list of transportation options for getting around. If you’re interested in finding other ways to Shuttle to and from this fabulous event, visit the official Ann Arbor Art Fair website Maps & Travel page at: http://www.artfair.org/main/main.jsp?id=8
The Fairs run from July 21st-24th, 2010. They’re open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
