History
The Oconomowoc Festival of the Arts is sponsored by the Oconomowoc Festival of the Arts, Ltd. an all-volunteer community organization. For over half a century, the festival has been held on the third weekend in August in beautiful Fowler Park on the shores of Fowler Lake in the heart of Oconomowoc. Situated roughly halfway between Milwaukee and Madison, the festival sees patrons from as far away as both large cities.
Visitors can enjoy various musical and entertainment groups on three stages scattered throughout the park. Families are encouraged to create their own works of art in the Children's Area adjacent to the Children's Stage. The silent art auction enables visitors to take a piece of art home with them. Everyone will find delicious treats provided by local community organizations at the Food Pavilion.
So come to Oconomowoc –Where the Waters Meet– to leisurely shop for quality artwork in all media: photography, painting, drawing, fiber, jewelry, wood, metal, glass, stone… the artistic choices are as exquisite as the scenery.
