Fourth Street is a 48 year Bloomington tradition. The festival is in the vibrant setting of Downtown Bloomington and has an attendance of 35,000-45,000 people over the two-day period. The Fourth Street Festival was created in 1976 by a group of Bloomington area artists and craftspeople to provide a high quality outdoor art event.  Artists can enjoy a free Sunday morning breakfast. The Festival is planned and administered by a cooperative committee of dedicated community artists and art lovers, many of whom have been involved with the event for years.
