Collins Art Festival

Join us for the inaugural Collins Art Festival on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM in the heart of Main Street Collins, Iowa.

For one day, Main Street will transform into an open-air celebration of creativity, featuring a thoughtfully curated collection of Iowa artists, makers, artisan food vendors, and hands-on art experiences. Whether you're searching for original artwork, handcrafted goods, delicious local food, or simply a fun fall day in a charming small town, the Collins Art Festival offers something for everyone.

We invite you to spend the day exploring, meeting the artists behind the work, supporting local creativity, and experiencing all that Main Street Collins has to offer.

The Collins Art Festival is a curated celebration of Iowa creativity. Our goal is to showcase original artists, skilled makers, artisan foods, and live demonstrations that provide visitors with a unique and inspiring experience. We strive for a balanced mix of mediums and reserve the right to limit the number of vendors in any category to ensure a diverse and high-quality festival.
