Riverside Arts Festival

The YWCA GLBR’s Riverside Art Festival returns in 2024 for its 50th year, drawing thousands of people from around the Great Lakes Bay Region with artistry, entertainment, food trucks, and even a raffle! Artists will be located in Downtown Bay City, along the Saginaw Riverfront, on June 8th and 9th for what is sure to be a wonderful weekend for artists and visitors alike! 

Artists from throughout the state and from as far away as Texas have been featured at the festival showcasing a variety of artistic works, including handmade pottery, jewelry, textiles and weaving, sculpture, watercolors, woodworking, as well as decorative items for the home and garden, clothing, and much more. In 2024, we will continue our highly selective jury process to select vendors featuring original works of art.
