Prepare yourself for the Cherry Creek Arts Festival (CCAF), a weekly event that combines different forms of arts – visual, culinary, and performing arts. Each year, about 350,000 attend the CCAF over the course of three days. Admission is free, and the event gives patrons the chance to meet and greet various international artists. They will be invited to try out fine dining, view craft exhibits and watch artist demonstrations. They’ll also be able to entertain their families with other interactive performing arts events.

CCAF is considered as the signature cultural event of Colorado; our annual craft show is top-ranked and award winning. If you are a student of the arts, it would be a fine idea to consider joining in on the show. Whether you?re a visual artist or a specialist with a certain craft, CCAF has the special event just for you.

The CCAF is a non-profit corporation, and our mission is simply to provide access to a broad array of arts experiences and support arts education in Colorado. Besides the festival itself, CCAF manages its yearlong art education and outreach mission through other programs including the Mobile Art Collection, artist in Residence programs, and the Student Art Buying Program.

So when will the arts festival take place? CCAF traditionally place on the 4th of July weekend. This year, the annual event will take place from the third to the fifth of the said month. The event will start at 10am, and it will continue on until 6pm before the festival nights kick in. There will be no festival night on the 5th, however.

Where would the festival take place? The Cherry Creek Arts Festival will be found in the Cherry Creek North District on all six streets that are in between Clayton and Steele. Every year, there are about 230 juried visual artists; perhaps with your own commendable skills, you can be part of this elite.
