The Arts & Drafts Festival makes its return Sept. 4–6 at The Brewerie at Union Station.

The event brings together more than 70 local artists and 15 live bands for three days of art, music and community.

Voted Erie’s “Best Art Event” for multiple years, organizers say the festival blends a vibrant showcase of creativity with a lively music lineup.

This year’s featured artist, Bryan Toy, will exhibit his latest work throughout the weekend.

Art displays run daily from noon to 11 p.m., with live music starting at 6 p.m. each evening. Admission is free on Thursday, while Friday and Saturday evenings suggest a $5 donation after 7 p.m.

Performers include local favorites like Bloc Czar, Elle Taylor and Velvet Waves.
