West Main Arts Festival

The West Main Arts Festival is the perfect event for anyone who loves the eclectic energy that art and music bring. This fine arts festival in Downtown Canton features over 40 local artists and artisans, a lineup of street performers and musicians, and the tastiest local food vendors, all gathered to celebrate the arts in Canton. With live music on multiple stages, local artists showcase their incredible talent to festivalgoers while they get to find the next art piece to bring home.

ARTISTS & ARTISANS

What's an art festival without the ones who create the art? Pottery, paintings, prints, sculptures, jewelry, and even edible dessert! These are just a few different types of the abundant variety of art that are showcased at the West Main Arts Festival! Artists line up inside their tents to create the perfect opportunity to be asked about their background and meanings behind their art. This is the perfect event for you to take home a piece of art that speaks to you!

MUSICIANS & SONGWRITERS

Local singers, songwriters, and musicians all gather to perform with "Porchfest" style performances where each musical act takes place on the front porch of a historic building. This homegrown feeling is the perfect ambience for an outdoor festival that embraces the creativity in being different. Presented by Local Underground, the music lineup plays throughout the whole festival so there's always something to vibe to while you're enjoying the beautiful art.

STREET PERFORMERS

Fire. Human statues. Yo-yos. Juggling. That's all the context you need. Street performers take the streets and fill the atmosphere with eye-grabbing performances that'll leave you feeling mesmerized. Witness unique performances up close and personal that you normally wouldn't see at any ordinary festival.
