Black Swamp Arts Festival

The Black Swamp Arts Festival is a free arts and live music festival held the first full weekend after Labor Day in historic downtown Bowling Green, Ohio. It is a non-profit run entirely by volunteers, and it describes itself as an award-winning art festival and the largest free live music festival in Ohio. The organization's mission is to connect art and the community by presenting an annual arts festival and promoting the arts in the Bowling Green community. Its work includes juried art shows, Youth Arts, the Chalk Walk competition, original live music on multiple stages, and art awards and scholarships.
