New this year is the Fairy Garden Festival of Marquette, the Fresh Coast Plein Aire Painting Festival with over $2,000 in prize money sponsored by Travel Marquette, and a special concert by legendary folk musician Peter Yarrow of Peter Paul & Mary, sponsored by the Hiawatha Music Festival. In addition, Thursday evening's Art Stroll has expanded to over 30 artist receptions!
