River Clay Arts Festival in Decatur

October 17, 2021 by SelfLynda Leave a Comment

Decatur, Alabama is the site of the annual River Clay Fine Arts Festival which normally takes place on the fourth weekend of each September on the campus of Decatur’s City Hall. Over 70 talented artists from 9 states exhibit their art and wares, much of it available for sale.

In 2021, the event was postponed due to the pandemic and was held in mid-October.

The River Clay Fine Arts Festival

There is something for just about everyone at the River Clay Fine Arts Festival. There are artist demonstrations, student art exhibits, children's make-and-take art activities, iron work, musical performances, and food trucks. And for those who aren't feeling particular "artsy," there are plenty of beautiful creations to simply admire.
