Sidney Art Festival Date Set

After considering several options, the Sidney Chamber’s Sunrise Festival of the Arts has decided that the event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 22, at Veterans Memorial Park.

The committee found that no date was perfect, but Aug. 22 has less conflicts both locally and regionally than other dates. Most vendors seem to be in favor when asked about attending on Aug. 22.

The event was originally scheduled to take place on July 11, but it was postponed due to an increase of Coronavirus cases in Richland County.

The Sunrise Festival of the Arts connects local and regional artists, craftspeople and authors with shoppers and enthusiasts. The Sidney Area Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture Sunrise Festival Committee works to plan and execute a full day of shopping, demonstrations, live entertainment, kid’s activities and food options.

This year’s Kids Corner, sponsored by Union Gateway, is expected to offer a variety of fun for area children.
