Almost Here: Norcross Art Fest

This weekend, downtown Norcross will come alive with the Norcross Art Fest.

Painters, sculptors, jewelry makers and other artists - more than 150 of them - will come from all over to display and sell their art on Saturday, Oct. 6 and Sunday, Oct. 7, 2012. They will set up in Thrasher Park and on the streets of downtown. While it's impossible to know how many people will come, about 60,000 turned out last year.

For the past couple of weeks, Patch has been profiling some of these talented artists. Check out their profiles by searching "Norcross Art Fest" on our site, or click on the links below.

There will also be live music and events for the kids. Parking will be limited, though, as vendors will line the streets. Find out how to park offsite and take a shuttle.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Norcross Lions Club, which will distribute funds to local causes, charities and organization.
