The 2004 Top 25 Fairs & Festivals
Our
readers love to let us know what they’re thinking. So many responded to our
seventh annual Top 25 Arts Destinations poll (reported in the August 2004
issue) that we decided to poll them on other favorites as well. AmericanStyle’s
first-ever Top 25 Art Fairs and Festivals list includes events from the offbeat
to the swanky, in big cities and small towns, with fine art and funky collectibles.
But all pride themselves on the high quality of their artists—and all, evidently,
have won attendees’ favor.

- Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, Ann Arbor, Mich.
- Bayou City Art Festivals, Houston, Texas
- Sawdust Art Festival, Laguna Beach, Calif.
- Cherry Creek Arts Festival, Denver, Colo.
