Bryan, Texas, is gearing up for one of its annual Spring traditions. The Downtown Bryan Street & Art Fair returns to Historic Downtown Bryan on Sunday, April 26, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, bringing together local and regional artists, live music, and free activities in the heart of a recognized Texas Cultural District.
This year's Downtown Bryan Street & Art Fair features artists working across a wide range of mediums, including painting, watercolor, photography, jewelry, fiber arts, 2-D mixed media, and woodwork. Every piece on display is original and handcrafted, and visitors can browse and buy directly from the artists who made them.
Beyond the booths, Downtown Bryan Street & Art Fair is packed with things to do. Kids can head to the Kids Craft Zone, designed by Purple Turtle Art Studio, for hands-on activities like cardboard mural painting and flower crown weaving. Attendees can also catch live screen printing in action and take home a commemorative tote bag, printed right on the spot. Local musicians perform throughout the day at The Palace, organized by the Brazos Valley Live Music Association.
"Spring is one of the best times to visit Bryan. The weather is beautiful, and there's plenty to keep friends and family entertained," said John Friebele, Executive Director, Destination Bryan. "April 25 and 26 is a weekend worth planning around. Wine & Roses Festival at Messina Hof on Saturday and the Downtown Bryan Street & Art Fair on Sunday offer something for everyone. We hope to see you in Bryan that weekend."
The Downtown Bryan Street & Art Fair takes place in Historic Downtown Bryan, a Texas Cultural District home to a thriving community of artists, galleries, and creative businesses. Admission is free, and free parking is available throughout downtown. The Roy Kelly Parking Garage also offers public parking for a small fee.
Visitors looking to make a full weekend can kick things off on Saturday, April 25, at Messina Hof Winery's Wine & Roses Festival, an annual celebration featuring Texas wine tastings, Texas artisan vendors, a grape stomp competition, and a Texas Artist Wine Label Competition. Together, the two events make for an art-filled weekend in Bryan worth planning around.
