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’s mission is to simply provide access to a broader array of arts experiences and to support the arts education in Colorado, as it is a non-profit corporation. CCAF manages its yearlong art education and outreach mission besides the festival itself. Other programs the CCAF is affiliated with include the Mobile Art Collection, artist in residence programs, and the Student Art Buying Programs.

The CCAF traditionally happens during the 4th of July weekend. But, this year, the annual event will be moved and will take from the third to the fifth of the month. The event will begin at 10am and will continue on until 6pm before the festival nights start. There will, unfortunately, be no festival night on the 5th.

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.
