History
The first Summerfair was developed in 1967 to salute the opening of the Playhouse in the Park’s Robert S. Marx Theater. Since then, the Summerfair Fair has become a nationally recognized event featuring more than 400 visual and performing artists.
During the last decade, it has consistently been identified as one of the 200 best shows in the United States by Sunshine Artist magazine and has received three Artists’ Choice Awards from the National Association of Independent Artists. Execution of the Festival depends upon the enthusiasm, cooperation and dedication of 400+ volunteers representing 8 counties in Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana.
The event is held each year on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday following Memorial Day at historic Coney Island park on the banks of the Ohio River.
