Experience the vibrant celebration of arts, crafts, culture, and community at the Midwest’s Premier Arts and Craft Show. The Festival of the Little Hills is an annual event named after the original settlement “Les Petites Cotes” founded by Louis Blanchette in 1769. Organized by the not-for-profit organization, Fete Des Petite Cotes, visitors can discover over 300 arts and crafts vendors and over 50 not-for-profit organizations that run food tents to fundraise for their various ventures at the festival. Throughout the weekend, enjoy live concerts from local favorites like SuperJam, Tyler Dale + Co, Dirty Muggs, and more. “Kids Corner” in Frontier Park features free arts and crafts from the Foundry Art Centre and bounce houses from Gateway Bounce. The young and the young at heart can find magic shows, juggling and circus tricks, cowboy tricks, and fire shows at the Circus Kaput on North Main Street. This festival takes over Main Street and Frontier Park from August 16-18 this year. Start the countdown now; you don’t want to miss this Saint Charles staple.
