Festival Program Wins IFEA Award

The Downtown Edmond Arts Festival received an award from the International Festival and Event Association. The 2022 Arts Festival program, inserted into Edmond Life and Leisure the week before the festival, received a Silver Pinnacle Award in the Newspaper Insert/Supplement category.

Arts Festival co-chair Michelle Schaefer attended the conference in McAllen Texas to accept the award. While there she attended sessions on festival planning and sponsorship development.

On the first Thursday of each month from April through October, the Edmond Fine Arts Institute hosts VIBES. This unique event pairs local visual and performing artists with local businesses. Attendees are encouraged to enjoy the art, listen to performing artists, shop at local businesses and dine in local restaurants in Downtown Edmond.

Because Downtown Edmond streets will be blocked to set up for the Arts Festival, there will be a “mini-VIBES” from 5 pm to 9 pm on Broadway from Campbell to Edwards and east on Edwards to the FAI headquarters. Most stores and restaurants in Downtown Edmond will be open, but please stay on the sidewalk and use caution when walking from Campbell to 2nd Street.
