Fourth Avenue Street Fair 2027

The Fourth Avenue Street Fair is a bi-annual community event held in the historic district of Tucson, Arizona. Recognized as one of the premier community celebrations in the Southwest and a Top 100 event nationally and internationally, the Fair attracts more than 300,000 visitors and features 350+ artists from locally and around the world. The event is free to the public and includes live entertainment, buskers, 40+ food vendors, beer, and local Fourth Avenue merchants.

The Fair invites artists working in all disciplines including ceramics, clothing, drawing and painting, fiber, furniture, glass, jewelry, leather, metalwork, mixed media, musical instruments, paper, pet products, photography, pre-packaged food, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, toys, upcycled/creative reuse, wax, wellbeing products, and wood. All work must be original and handmade by no more than three people. Buy-sell items, imported goods, mass-produced work, and machine-made items are prohibited. The artist must be present during the entire show.

Applications must include five photos: four representing the artist's work and one of the booth display. All applications go through a blind jury process based on photos, image descriptions, and artist statements. Jury scores are not released and all decisions are final. Booth spaces are purchased on a first-come, first-served basis after invitations are released. The Fair offers artist amenities including check-in and registration, booth sitters, restroom access, security patrols, first aid, lost and found, discounted lodging partnerships, waste disposal, and event directory listing. One artist will be selected for the Best of Show Award, which includes a custom award and a complimentary 10' x 10' booth space at the next Fair. The event takes place March 19-21, 2027: Friday and Saturday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Sunday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
