A greatly anticipated annual event in West Point and the surrounding area is the Prairie Arts Festival. The Festival is held  each year on the Saturday before Labor Day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in West Point's downtown area. Including Fine Arts, Crafts, down-home southern cooking, four stages of live music, Classic Cars, Kidsville, and much more, the Prairie Arts Festival features more than 600 exhibits. This year, the festival will run one hour longer than in the past, concluding at 5 p.m..
An annual tradition since 1978, the festival has been recognized, for the twelfth straight year, as one of the top ten events in the south. The Prairie Arts Festival is one of the largest arts and crafts festivals in the country, attracting crowds of more than 40,000.
Registration for the festival begins in June each year. Applications for the Fine Arts category (except for previous PAF cash award winners) must submit photos of their work prior to registration for judging. Registration is by mail, all fees must be paid in advance, and no refunds are possible. The show will be held rain or shine.
