Main Street Arts Festival

08/16/2026

Thank You!

To everyone who helped make the Magna Main Street Arts Festival such a great event this year. (Also those who have helped in the past, since that was instrumental in getting the Festival to the level it reached this week.)

From the organizers & volunteers, to the Artists in the contest and sharing their Chalk Art, 80+Vendors, Musicians who performed, the Writer's corner talent, the City officials who facilitated the preparations -- we THANK you all.

Also noted are all who helped promote the event online in various ways. Bringing attention and bringing friends takes the Festival up a notch.

Finally, Thank You to all who attended. Without a happy crowd enjoying the scene, there would be no festival.

See you again next year!

-- the Arts Council of Magna

Art Show - quick look

Got a minute to see some sweet art? The number of entries was down a bit this year compared to previous festivals. Probably due to the missing years recently for Construction and the quarantine years, meaning a lot of our past participating artists were no longed at the same contact addresses as before. But the best of this year was as good as ever. See a few, if you will.

The Festival is ON today from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Any questions you want to ask today may not be noticed by the people who plan the event - they are just too busy on site. Doom scrolling is not on the to-do list today.

Come on down and have fun. There are always several things happening at once throughout the day.

Magna Main Street is the "old town" part of Magna. Get to 2700 South and 8400 West, then GO WEST! Or set your maps to get you to the Magna Library, and you are there.

Be a part of local art!

Final Festival reminder!

The Festival *IS* on Saturday, August 15th, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Most of you already knew that, but Magna has gained a lot of population since the last time the event was held in 2024.

Free to attend. But bring some money to spend 'cuz you'll WANT to when you see what is available in Food, Art, and other fun.

Live Music, half a dozen food & drink options, 80 Vendors in tents on Main Street, Art Show and Contest inside the Library, and...

Two big new features this year are:

1) A Professional Chalk Art display by a dozen artists!

2) An Author's Corner where a dozen published writers show off their books, and each gives a short presentation, or joins a group panel.

We humbly apologize for presenting you so many options. But we know that you, as a lover of Arts & Entertainment, will somehow power through and see your way to having an Artsy day in Magna!

Be a part of local art.

See you there!

** WARNING ** Today, (Thursday, August 13th), someone posted on this group page claiming to be the person to sell you Vendor Space for the Festival this week. THAT WAS A LIE. That person has been blocked, but others could post similar lies.

The only real way to get Vendor Space at the Magna Festival is through the group that organizes the Festival - the Arts Council of Magna. If you pay anyone else, you have wasted your money - and you STILL don't have Vendor Space. The scam has hurt Vendors at various events for the last few years, but this is the first time we have noticed it here this year. Watch out!

Vendor news!

The Organizers report that about half of the available spots for Vendors at the Magna Main Street Arts Festival happening on August 15th, 2026 have now been filled. If you have been waiting to apply, get your inquiry in soon. The application process is easy, starting with a few simple questions where you describe your proposed booth, and how to contact you.

No payment required just to send that form in online. The Festival staff will then review each application to see if it is a good fit for a local Arts Festival. (There is an emphasis this year on getting more original creative arts Vendors. Food, Drink, business services, etc., can also apply, but there may not be enough room for all of them, so that will take some working through to avoid duplication of similar Vendors.)

Get your application started as soon as you are sure by filling out the quick initial questionnaire/for online at:
