Don’t Miss Early Bird Artist Registration at Gazebo Art Festival!

Since 1971, the Gazebo Art Festival has hosted a fun and juried art festival in Chandler Park in Macomb in September. With a mission to nurture artistic creation and expression in the rural community and beyond, the Gazebo Art Festival has been recognized as a favorite family and local event.

To continue the growth and capacity of the festival, they joined the Fiscal Sponsorship Program of Prairie Hills Resource Conservation & Development in 2025. One of the benefits is being able to offer online applications for artist booths, including early bird discounts.
Before May 30th, single artists can reserve a booth at the festival for $50 or $80 for a shared booth. After May 30th, single booths are $65 and shared are $105. The final application deadline is July 17th.

The Gazebo Art Festival is also accepting applications from food vendors and volunteers to host children’s activities during the event.

All applications can be found online at the Prairie Hills RC&D Gazebo Art Festival page
(prairiehillsrcd.org/gazebo-art-festival.html). Print applications and checks can also be sent to the Prairie Hills RC&D office at 321 W University Drive, Macomb, IL 61455. Checks must be made out to Prairie Hills RC&D with GAF as a memo.

The Mount Sterling Farmers Market began in 2017 as a grassroots effort led by community members with the goal of promoting local food access, small businesses, and community gathering, laying the foundation for the market we know today.

Saturdays throughout June, enjoy live music at the bar and grill at Kickapoo State Recreation Area. Shows featuring country, folk, and classic rock begin at 5 p.m. each night. Learn more at Kickapoo Adventures online.
