International Folk Art Market

One of the most colorful places on the planet, the International Folk Art Market brings more than 150 artists from 53 countries to Museum Hill to sell their unique folk art. Some 20,000 people travel from around the country to shop this market in mid-July, purchasing handmade jewelry, clothing, textiles, paintings and dozens of other one-of-a-kind items. Part of the fun is getting to meet the artists and talk about their work and where they live. The market also showcases live world music, dance and other performances. Bring your appetite so you can feast on foods from around the globe.
