COMMUNITY SCENE – Art in Wilder Park

EM-Art-in-Wilder-Park-3

The 28th annual Art in Wilder Park returned to Elmhurst for a vibrant, art-filled weekend that kicked off the spring festival season in style. Held in early May at Wilder Park, the beloved outdoor event drew thousands to the scenic Culture Campus, where over 130 artists from across the Midwest showcased handcrafted jewelry, ceramics, paintings, sculptures, and more. Families enjoyed interactive fun in the popular Kids Court and a lively scavenger hunt with prizes. With artisan food vendors, sponsor displays, and a festive atmosphere, Art in Wilder Park once again proved why it’s been voted “Best in the West”—a true celebration of creativity and community.
