Meet the Artists-Frisco (MTA) is a juried art festival held in conjunction with the Town of Frisco's annual Fallfest event on September 9th & 10th, 2017. The festival features artist booths throughout the Frisco Historical Park on Main Street, alongside a "Taste of Frisco" food tent and live music. Saturday includes live performances, and beer and wine sales are available both days.
