The fifty-fifth Midsummer Festival of the Arts will be held July 19-20, 2025, on the grounds of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center and Sheboygan’s City Green.

This highly anticipated free event brings thousands of festivalgoers and artists together. The festival features up to 100 juried artists—including returning award winners from last year—offering original works of art in a wide variety of categories, including ceramics, painting, photography, metal, fiber, watercolor, wood, jewelry, and others.

The weekend also includes live music and performances, exhibitions, hands-on art making, demonstrations, food, and fun. The emerging artist area for up to five invited artists, offers an opportunity for collegiate and rising artists to learn about business in the arts.
