About the event

Downtown South Bend, Inc. is proud to produce Art Beat, the region’s largest and longest running, single-day arts festival. Founded in 2003, Art Beat seeks to give all local artists a chance to share their work with the community regardless of their age, ethnicity, or financial status. Art Beat is downtown South Bend's largest annual event, where the city streets are filled with performing, visual, and culinary artists, for a day-long celebration of our local artists in a unique urban backdrop with an atmosphere that both artists and visitors describe as "magical." The event sets itself apart from other art shows by showcasing the multitude of talent found solely in our area. Only residents of St. Joseph County and its surrounding counties are eligible to be a participating artist or nonprofit group.
