The Village Arts Factory and Canton Township announce the return of the Cherry Hill Village ARToberfest, a one-day artisan and vendor fair that will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025.

This special event, which will be held in Canton’s Cherry Hill Village, is sponsored by Blink Eye Care, Edward Jones of Cherry Hill Village, Expressions Music Academy, Jacob Matthew Jewelers, Oak Pointe Church Canton, Provision Living Senior Living Community, Uptown Salon, and The Village Dentist.

Festivalgoers will have a chance to fully immerse themselves in art and fall fun from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., in and around the Village Arts Factory campus, located at 50755 Cherry Hill Road.

Additional festivities of this family-friendly event include an artisan marketplace, live music and food trucks, along with beer and adult beverages for the 21 and older crowd. In addition, cider, donuts, seasonal snacks and more will be available.

The Village Arts Factory will also host its Third Youth Art Fair featuring the work of artists aged 8 to 18. In addition to these promising student artists, the event will also feature resident artisans from the Village Arts Factory, including the Cherry Hill Potters Guild, who will be onsite selling their original works providing festivalgoers with a chance to peruse and buy one-of-a-kind creations.

“The interest in this popular family fall festival that celebrates the arts has been amazing,” said Kevin Ryan, Village Arts Factory program director. “Each year ARToberfest keeps developing into a perfect fall destination that not only offers a full range of creative works and merchandise available for purchase but also features a variety of family-friendly artistic and creative activities that showcase the arts.”

Cherry Hill Road, which will be closed between the Village Arts Factory and Schoolhouse Road, offers a bustling artisan marketplace. Food trucks will also be onsite at the Village Arts Factory. In addition, a beer and wine tent will be hosted by Maraschino’s Pub.

Live entertainment will also be featured. Additional activities include a range of engaging fall-themed activities tailored specifically for children, including the Detroit Institute of Arts’ kids craft tent that is available, as well as lawn games brought to you by Oak Pointe Church Canton.

Festivalgoers will also be able to view the 31st annual Canton Fine Arts Exhibition, on display throughout October in the Gallery at Cherry Hill inside the Village Theater, as well as the Village Arts Factory Fine Art exhibition inside its facility. Both venues showcase a broad range of artistic styles and interpretations in a variety of mediums from emerging and well-established Michigan artists.
