After missing out on one of the most popular events in all of Southwest Michigan last summer, the Krasl Art Center is barreling along with plans for the return of their Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff this July, and tickets can officially be purchased online beginning today.
In a year where many of Michigan’s fairs and festivals have been canceled due to the pandemic, the Krasl Art Center wants everyone to know that the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff plans are in full swing for 2021. Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff presented by 1st Source Bank celebrates artists and the entire community in Lake Bluff Park on Saturday, July 10th from 10am-6pm EST, and again Sunday, July 11th from 10am-5pm EST.
Event organizers are committed to compliance with current state guidelines, even as summer pandemic changes shift. Lake Bluff Park will be gated to the north and south of Broad Street. Entrance reservations may be made and tickets sold in advance. None of the new changes would be possible without the support of the community which has helped plan the event at warp-speed, and the sponsors who offset expenses related to the necessary safety measures.
The 2021 event plans comply with current Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Large Outdoor Event Guidelines, so you can now reserve your entrance time online.
For safety and in accordance with state guidelines, it is highly recommended attendees reserve their entry time and purchase their tickets in advance. Beginning today, Tuesday, May 18th, tickets for the event can be purchased through Ticketspice. A link to Ticketspice will be available at Krasl.org or general admission tickets can be purchased directly by visiting this link: http://kraslartcenter.ticketspice.com/2021-krasl-art-fair-tix. Prices are $5 per attendee over the age of 2. In order to ensure an accurate attendance count, free children’s tickets will need to be reserved for all children ages 0-2.
If capacity permits, a limited number of general admission tickets may be available the weekend of the event. Cash sales will only be accepted at Krasl Art Center located at 707 Lake Boulevard on July 10th and 11th.
Visitor check-in areas for ticket holders will be located along Lake Boulevard at Broad, Pearl, and Ship Streets. All attendees will need to present their ticket information, complete a verbal COVID symptom check and will be required to adhere to the following safety guidelines while on event grounds:
- Krasl Art Fair will comply with all MDHHS suggestions and guidelines for Large Outdoor Events and will provide updates as needed as the fair weekend approaches.
Laura Lukas, KAC Board President, says: “As I speak with people in the community and hear from our Art Fair artists, I feel incredible energy and excitement about the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff! By taking steps to follow the most updated guidelines, we will be able to have an Art Fair that meets our standards of high-quality artwork on our beautiful Bluff!”
