An autumn art outing takes over Cottonwood Park as the fall edition of Richardson's juried festival returns. Browse work from artists selected through a competitive application process, break for food from the festival vendors and give younger visitors a turn with painting, weaving or clay in ArtStop. Admission is free, with fees for some children's activities. The organizer confirms October 2-3 for 2027, not the later dates in the supplied list; Saturday stays open longer.
