Join us for a vibrant Art March Gala & Celebration at the Rust Belt Market as we wrap up a month of creativity in style! Grab a sandwich from Hero or Villain Food Truck and enjoy inside the event space.

This evening event celebrates the incredible vendors and artists who make The Rust Belt Market such a dynamic and inspiring community. Come explore unique handmade goods, original artwork, and creative small businesses while enjoying a festive, art-filled atmosphere.

Downtown Ferndale will be hosting a special Maker Space in the center event area where guests of all ages can drop in to:

* Create art
* Doodle and experiment
* Contribute to the “Make Your Mark” 2026 Community Canvas
* Learn more about how to experience the creative energy happening in and around town

Whether you're an artist or just feeling inspired, this is your chance to jump in and get creative.

The celebration runs from 4–7 PM, during regular market hours (11 AM–7 PM), so feel free to stop in anytime — but don’t miss the featured festivities in the afternoon!

Bring your friends, support local art, and help us close out Art March with a bang!
