The Moab Arts Festival is a juried outdoor art fair traditionally held each September in downtown Moab, Utah, featuring artist booths, food vendors, a kids' activity area, and live music. After 30 years under the same organizing committee, the festival announced a hiatus for 2026 while a new committee forms, with an anticipated return in 2027.
Moab Arts Festival is an established recurring event in Moab, Utah, accepted from an official or strong source.
For three decades the festival brought a juried roster of visual artists to downtown Moab each September, timed to the cooler shoulder season between the area's busiest tourist months
It functioned as one of several community art events clustered around late summer and fall in southeastern Utah, alongside newer offerings like the Red Rocks Arts Festival
Its defining feature was continuity: the same volunteer committee ran the event for 30 consecutive years before stepping down, a level of institutional memory unusual for a small-town festival of its size
Historically the festival paired a juried artist market with a dedicated Kids Korner and a full live-music schedule
traditions the incoming committee has indicated it intends to revisit once the festival resumes
