September 9th & September 10th, 2016 • FRISCO, COLORADO
Meet The Artists-Frisco (MTA) is held in conjunction with the Town of Frisco’s annual Fallfest event. Heavily promoted by the town, Fallfest features the MTA Art Festival, a “Taste of Frisco” food tent on Main Street and live music on Saturday. On Sunday there will be all-day live performances by local singer/songwriters in the Historic Park Gazebo. Beer and Wine sales will be available both days.
Artist booths are located throughout the Frisco Historical Park located on Frisco’s Main Street. This is a prime weekend with fall visitors, second home owners and locals enjoying Fallfest and the Rocky Mountains. No other show offers this combination of prime location, date and exclusivity to artists.
