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, Idyllwilds beloved Golden Retriever and official town ambassador.

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.
