October 6 & 7
Portage, Indiana
Portage Fall Festival
Portage Park Department
Deadline: August 1st
The spectacular fall colors, the lapping water of Lake Michigan, the hum of an active, vibrant community all beckon the artist and the art lover to Portage, IN, 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, South Bend and Michigan.
Just the words, "Fall Festival" conjure up warm memories of the good offerings of our farm heritage....wine, cheese, chocolate....combined with a celebration of the creations of many skilled, talented and selected artists and artisans from throughout the region. Come join us for a sampling of all this and more.
Portage is proud to offer a wonderful weekend venue of juried art showings, a wine tasting, homemade chocolates, live music and much more, all under one roof. The Harvest Festival is open to art in all media. Much as the city itself is a melting pot and crossroads, we wish our show to reflect that milieu. Portage is 30 minutes from Chicagoland, South Bend and Michiana!
The juried art portion of the festival will be held in air conditioned comfort of the 9,000 square foot Oakwood Grand Hall at Woodland Park, and the wine tasting, chocolate and live music will be held up an easy flight of stairs in our elegant reception room, the Sycamore Hall.
Please put this event, the Portage Harvest Festival, October
