Ann Arbor Art Fair 2019

It’s that time of year again where thousands descend on Ann Arbor to buy and sell handmade art in the heart of downtown. Outside of the University of Michigan and its various offshoots, the Ann Arbor Art Fair is arguably our city’s biggest cultural event. All Ann Arbor hotels book up pretty quickly, so if you’re planning on attending the Art Fair and will be in need of accommodations, we encourage you to secure your room sooner than later. Many area hotels will raise their room rates as the Art Fair dates approach, so securing your booking early will guarantee the best possible price. We hope to see you there, and we REALLY hope it doesn’t storm again this year… but it always does – it probably will. Bring an umbrella, and retreat to your room at the Ann Arbor Regent if the weather gets too crazy.
