Summerlin Festival of Arts celebrates its 30th year at The Lawn at Downtown Summerlin from October 9th through October 11th, 2026. The free outdoor festival runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day and brings together more than 100 juried fine artists for three days of art, shopping, and family-friendly activities.
The annual event gives visitors a chance to meet artists from Las Vegas and across the country while browsing original works available for purchase. A jury selects artists, creating a mix of established and emerging talent throughout The Lawn.
More Than 100 Juried Fine Artists
More than 100 artists are scheduled to participate in the festival. Visitors can explore booths filled with original artwork while speaking directly with many of the people who created the pieces.
The festival is designed as a fine arts event rather than a general craft market, with a panel of experts selecting participating artists before they are accepted into the show.
Featured Artists
This year’s featured artists include Michael Panetta, a Southern California artist known for glass wall sculptures inspired by the ocean’s movement and appearance.
Arunas Oslapas creates woven metal baskets and sculptural works using reclaimed materials such as rusted steel, vintage street signs, and found objects. Christopher Roche brings large-scale acrylic paintings that combine realism with bold contemporary color.
Las Vegas artist Nataniel Stepniewski will also be represented with astrophotography capturing Southwestern landscapes and night skies using specialized light-sensitive equipment.
Family-Friendly Activities
The Summerlin Festival of Arts is designed for all ages, with children’s activities planned alongside the artist exhibits. Families can explore the festival at their own pace while enjoying the open-air setting at Downtown Summerlin.
Because the event takes place within Downtown Summerlin, visitors are also within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and other attractions throughout the property. Food and beverage participation connected with the festival is limited to existing Downtown Summerlin businesses selected by the organizers.
Shop Original Art Directly From Artists
One of the festival’s main draws is the opportunity to purchase original artwork directly from participating artists. Guests looking for paintings, sculpture, photography, glass art or other distinctive pieces can browse the exhibits and learn more about the work directly from its creator.
Artwork availability and pricing vary by artist, and individual pieces may be limited or one of a kind. Visitors interested in purchasing a specific work may want to attend earlier in the weekend for the widest selection.
Tickets and Registration
Summerlin Festival of Arts is free to attend, and general visitors do not need to purchase an admission ticket. Guests can visit The Lawn anytime between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM during the three-day festival.
