Maple & Main

Kick off your summer festival season at one of Northwest Ohio’s most beloved juried art events, drawing thousands of passionate art lovers each year! Sylvania Arts invites fine artists of all mediums to apply for the 15th Annual Maple & Main Art & Music Festival in the Park.

For 2026, the festival remains at its stunning new home in Olander Park—a 60-acre lakeside oasis in the heart of Sylvania. Artists will exhibit along scenic grassy trails beneath majestic oak trees, with picturesque views of the lake creating a truly inspiring setting for both artists and patrons. The park’s natural beauty, walking paths, and relaxed atmosphere make for an exceptional show experience.

The festival continues to offer everything artists love: a vibrant live music stage, roaming buskers, popular food trucks, and a lively beer garden that keeps visitors lingering and buying. Many of our artists return year after year, praising the festival’s welcoming, well-organized, and sales-friendly environment. Join us and be part of a creative weekend where art, music, and community come together beautifully.beautiful park setting

In 2011, the Sylvania Arts launched its first community festival: Maple & Main Art and Music Festival. This iconic event attracts more than 5,000+ people annually to downtown Sylvania. Musicians take stage to perform and Artists from all over the region line Main Street with everything from glass art, to ceramics, jewelry, and paintings. Due to the downtown revitalization plans for 2026, Maple and Main will be held at the beautiful Olander park. A 60 acre lakefront park with majestic oak trees, trails, picnic tables, beach and more.

While strolling through the festival, take a break from perusing the art to enjoy a glass of wine or beer, grab something to eat from one of the many local food trucks and relax and enjoy a variety of local and regional music performances throughout the weekend.

Maple & Main is held the first weekend after Memorial Day each year. Make sure to follow our social media channels and sign up for our newsletter to find out all the details, including when applications for artists open!
