Art on the Avenue - Logansport, Indiana's premier fine arts festival

About the Festival

The Cass County Arts Alliance (CCAA) is busy planning Logansport’s annual “Art on the Avenue.” This event offers fine art vendors, food, music, a children’s corner, and performers that the whole family will enjoy.

Art on the Avenue will certainly have an amazing line up this fall! Again, we all thank our partners and friends, Logansport Savings Bank, for their continued support. Their sponsorship allows this family oriented art festival to be affordable for all.

Held at the Little Turtle Waterway along the Wabash River at 4th Street and Melbourne Avenue, the festival takes place on Saturday, September 15th, from 11 am - 5 pm, with an adult beverage tent after the festival - sponsored by the Cass County Roosters! "Music on Melbourne" will rock your night away!

The fine art area offers a wide variety of artists, including Cass County favorites, as well as newcomers from all over the Midwest. Art featured at the festival will include woodworking, stained glass, fine jewelry, pottery, photography, sculpture, painting and more.

The festival is presented by the partners who comprise CCAA; the original Cass County Arts Alliance itself, the Performing Arts Council of Logansport, and the Civic Players of Logansport.
