The annual Labor Day Weekend show occurs in downtown Bloomington and is organized by local artists. The show hosts over 100 artisans from across the country who offer their work to the public, as well as live music, performance art, community booths, and kids’ activities. This is one of Bloomington’s most beloved traditions and has remained admission-free thanks to the help of our wonderful team of volunteers. To volunteer, email [email protected]
