The Village Square Art Fair, sponsored by the Saugatuck Douglas Art Club, is a 70-year tradition held July 4, 2026 from 10am to 5pm in Village Square, encompassing the campuses around Main and Butler Streets in downtown Saugatuck. This outdoor event welcomes artists, makers, and craftspeople across all mediums to display and sell their work. The fair draws upwards of two to three thousand visitors. Booth spaces are approximately 10' x 10', with booth fees of $150 due upon acceptance. Setup begins at 7am on the day of the fair. Artists may only exhibit work in the category in which they are accepted, and all work must be created and produced by the artist. Reselling of bought products and vendors displaying for recruitment, retail, or solicitation are not permitted. Artists must hold proper insurance and collect and pay State of Michigan sales tax. The fair is rain or shine. Proceeds fund scholarships for local graduates pursuing degrees in the arts and support the art departments of Saugatuck and Fennville schools.
