Idyllwild Art in the Park

Escape to the Mountains for Idyllwild's Art in the Park

 

Nestled among the majestic pines of the San Jacinto Mountains, the charming mile-high town of Idyllwild has rightfully earned its place among the 100 Best Small Art Towns in America. Join us for a delightful day in this picturesque community during the Art in the Park festivities.

 

Experience an eclectic mix of ceramics, paintings, glass, jewelry, woodworking, photography, fibers, live music, and more, crafted with care for your viewing, listening, and shopping pleasure. Additionally, each person whose work is showcased is present, so you'll have the chance to interact with the artists behind every incredible piece.

 

Upon arrival, you'll be personally greeted by Mayor Max, Idyllwild’s beloved Golden Retriever and official town ambassador. He’ll be waiting for our coach to arrive, ready to welcome you with tail wags, smiles, and a photo opportunity. After meeting the Mayor, enjoy leisurely time to explore the indoor galleries and have lunch on your own at one of Idyllwild’s cafés or quaint local eateries.

 

Please note: This tour visits an elevation of over 5,000 feet.

This tour includes a leisurely yet extended amount of walking and may present challenges for guests with limited mobility. Art in the Park takes place outdoors and requires navigating slight inclines and a variety of natural surfaces. While the pace is relaxed, paved pathways can be limited, and there is very limited seating at the event. This may make accessibility difficult for those using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids. We want all of our guests to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience and kindly advise that this tour may not be ideally suited for individuals with mobility concerns.
