The Ogden Arts Festival is happening June 10-11 at Ogden Union Station in the heart of downtown Ogden. Since 2004, the two-day event brings together artists, creators, and entertainers for a weekend of fun and inspiration for all ages.
This year’s festival boasts over 100 local and regional art vendors, kids activities, live muralists, art + skateboard competitions, food trucks, adult beverages, music and dance performances on three stages including spoken word, and a two-day lineup of local bands.
Not only a great place to shop for beautiful handmade art, the Ogden Arts Festival is a tradition that helps new artists and musicians of all ages to thrive by giving them a stage. And with free entry for ages 18 and under it’s an opportunity for all youth to experience the world of art in their community.
