Sylvania’s Maple & Main Art & Music Festival returns to downtown Sylvania the weekend of June 3-4, 2023. The festival is free and open to the public. 

“Art has always brought people together and defined communities, and we’re thrilled to be an art festival tradition in the region.” said Ken Dymond, Executive Director of Sylvania Arts. 

Fifty visual artists from around the country will display their work in booths during the festival. Featured media include photography, painting, jewelry, fibers, glass, ceramics, wood and more. Artists from northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan will also participate, including last year’s award winner in painting, Thomas Sorrel and Andi Smith in woodworking. 

Artist booths will be lined up and down Sylvania’s Main Street, a stage for musical performances will be set up on the block of Maplewood and a children’s art activity area will be near the Historic Village on North Main. 

Musical acts include local and regional talent representing genres from rock and bluegrass to jazz, folk, and polka. Buskers will perform at pop up locations around the festival. The headliner on Saturday night will be The Last Born Sons followed by The Commonheart from Pittsburg, PA. Polka Floyd of Toledo will close out the festival on Sunday afternoon, with polka covers of Pink Floyd tunes. All concerts are free and open to the general public.
