The story

Crosby Festival of the Arts in Toledo

Crosby Festival of the Arts is Toledo's late-June fine arts festival, held on the grounds of the Toledo Botanical Garden, a 60-acre park once known as Crosby Gardens after founder George P. Crosby. Artists set up outdoor booths among the garden's rose, herb, perennial, and Hosta collections while Metroparks Toledo, which has managed the site since 2006, provides the backdrop of shaded paths and cultivated grounds for browsing and shopping.

Its garden setting and long history make it a strong arts row.
