FoxFireFest August 5, 2007

Don’t miss out… the AAUW Art Showcase will be held on August 3-5 as part of FoxFireFest at beautiful new Festival Park along Elgin’s RiverWalk. The Art Showcase is a juried fine art and fine craft show. FoxFireFest as the name implies, is an event focused around the glow of fire on the water, including a mystical night-time fire & light show on the river, accompanied by unique theatre, art, dance and musical performers.

FoxFireFest incorporates the best elements of the previous Fine Arts Fest, but has expanded to showcase the wide variety of cultural amenities and performing arts groups centered in the Elgin area, with two stages offering non-stop entertainment. The food and beverage area will also feature an eclectic mix for all ages, including a beer garden.

FoxFireFest also plays host to the 48th annual American Association of University Women’s juried art show, with participating artists from throughout the Midwest area. Hands-on art demonstrations, and other exhibits and performances will be featured from arts and cultural organizations throughout the Fox Valley, with a special emphasis on unique, interactive children’s art projects.
