On August 1st, 2021, Beach Front Arts Fest debuted as Kenosha’s own annual celebration of community and art.

Founded on the belief that art can inspire, unite, and create lasting connections, Beachfront Arts Fest has become an important part of our community's identity. It's a day when creativity takes center stage, and everyone is invited to participate in any way they please.

During a summertime hangout at Pennoyer Park, a group of friends imagined a music festival . . .

The result was Beach Front Arts Fest, a free event featuring a bill of musicians from cities around Wisconsin, local artisans selling handcrafted goods, and delicious food trucks.

The following year, the festival more-than doubled in size and attendance. The growth continued in year 3, and now Beach Front 2024 is right around the corner!
