Registration details coming in early 2026!
Mill Pond Park to Lime Kiln Park, Menomonee Falls
10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Since 2006, Art in the Park has offered a refreshing look at the creative talent of our community. In 2024, we debuted an even bigger community event and combined with Falls Art at Large to create the annual Falls Festival of the Arts.
Falls Festival of the Arts is a one-day block party in the heart of historic downtown Menomonee Falls on Main Street, Mill Pond Park and Mill Pond Plaza. The festival hosts local, regional and state artists, art demonstrations, kids’ art zone, live music, food trucks, beer garden, performing acts, street performers, and a community art project. It took place on a picture-perfect day this year on Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025.
One of the advantages of your Art Guild membership is free participation for a 10×10 display booth located in the Mill Pond area. Members are also granted entry without going through the jury process required of other artists. The Art Guild was well-represented at the Festival this year with 17 artists displaying a wide variety of art including paintings, metal works, wood works, jewelry, ceramics and mixed-media.
Many Art Guild members also participated in Festival competitions: Plein Air (6), Chalk Art (1) and Metal Dragonfly Sculpture painting (10). Congratulations to the
following Art Guild winners in each of those events:

Mary Beth Drabisczcak, Best of Show

Original 8×8 canvases donated by our own Guild members were featured in the Guild’s main tent. We recorded outstanding—near record—sales to raise funds for our Art Camp Scholarship! Thanks to all those that contributed canvases and helped staff our tent this year.
Guild members supported the day’s events by volunteering to set up tents, staff events and share their talents in the Discovery and Demonstration tent. Thank you, members! We are proud of your involvement and look forward to repeating again in August of 2026!
