GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The 35th annual Artstreet is coming to downtown Green Bay in a little over two weeks.
The 3 day festival is Friday, August 26-28 2016 and will include paintings, pottery, jewelry and much more.
200 artists from around the country will be participating in the event.
Director Tina Quigley says although the event is losing Pine Street to the construction of Hotel Northland and the YMCA, they will be gaining so much more by expanding their children’s area along Washington Street.
“The Children’s Museum is going to take part in the event. We’re also bringing on some other organizations like the YWCA. So, there’s going to be just a host of new activities all free of course for kids of all ages.”
Quigley says this street change will allow them to add more activities to the event that stretches about 8 city blocks.
“We are kind of upgrading, I guess if you will, our performing arts stage. The Nicolet Bank performing arts stage is going to be much bigger and more prominent and it’s going to feature some really cool headlining entertainment; mostly, music, dance and theatrical performances.”
Parking downtown is free on the weekends and Quigley suggests using parking ramps on Cherry Street and Pine Street.
There are still opportunities to volunteer at the event which include 2 1/2 to 4 hour shifts.
