Taste of the Arts 2016 



The Taste of the Arts festival gets bigger and better every year. With a record breaking attendance of over 30,000 festival goers last year, we've decided that one day isn't enough to get a true "Taste" of Fort Wayne arts and culture. That's why the 2016 Taste of the Arts festival will be a two-day festival!
