The Creative Arts Center's 55th Annual Festival of the Arts runs Friday through Sunday, August 14–16, 2026, outdoors in Chase Park on Cross Street in Chatham — a five-minute walk from Main Street. The organizer bills roughly 135 artisans and craftsmen, with food, beverages and a children's tent. Admission is free. Hours are Friday and Saturday 10am–5pm and Sunday 10am–4pm. The Creative Arts Center building at 3884 Main Street is the organization's home and serves as a parking/shuttle station for the festival, not the festival ground itself.
