2026 Decatur Arts Festival Postponed

After 35 years of bringing art, music, and community to downtown Decatur each May, the Decatur Arts Festival will take a creative pause in 2026. With the major downtown renovations currently underway on the city square, the Decatur Arts Alliance is using this moment to reflect, refresh, and thoughtfully plan for the next chapter of this beloved event.
