My daughter was kicked out and they did NOT give her a refund. The manager said she was talking and she was by herself. They kicked her out right after she bought 20 dollars worth of I food . I have multiple parents that I know that experienced this exact thing. It was filled with pop corn in the main lobby and if any kids are their self they will kick them out. I watched it happen and they were sitting right next to me. The workers said that it was complaints. Would not recommend going to this place again.

As far as festivals go in the area this is one of the bigger interesting ones. They have a big…read moreassortment of what i call "fair food" and it all seemed like it was very likeable and easy on the wallet. They had a huge tent for dancing. We also got to see a kids area that they had dancers in Disney characters contests...they were kindof scary looking characters i guess the costumes are like a knockoff kind or something. The thing they are known for is there giant skillet meal, i had this it was pretty darn good and only $6.00. They also have a chicken dinner which i found out about after I had eaten, there was quite a big line for it and they even have it done by a number series...fyi the kids eat free only works with a paying adult. They also have a huge garage sale type thing, everything you could cram into a brown bag for $5.00. Just a bunch of junk to me, but it could be your treasure! They also have carnival type games here along with bingo at certain times and live entertainment. This place was well worth it to come to, i would come again next year.

This is pretty typical of a small town festival:…read more - over priced food and drinks - crappy carnival game prizes - over priced junk at rummage sale - people selling their homemade junk - local "talent" for the entertainment - lots of drunk people - old ladies playing bingo If you are into all of that, then by all means: have at it.

The 2025 Edwardsville Art Fair was an absolute blast! The Edwardsville Arts Center (EAC) once again…read moretransformed City Park into a three-day celebration of incredible regional talent. Over 100 artists brought their work, showcasing media from intricate ceramics, crisp photography, and shiny metal jewelry to unique polished wood pieces and, of course, brilliant paints. My personal favorite? Felicia Olin, whose whimsical paintings on canvas and wood keep me looking for her year after year. (I have several of her pieces, including one I got during the Edwardsville Art Fair last year and another at the Fair in 2018!) Other regulars include an artist who uses puffy 3D paints, SIUE art students, a wood and collage artist who makes the most beautiful boxes and mirrors, and, new the last 2 years, an artist who makes beautiful paintings of silly embroidery and nother who makes incredible realistic-looking flower arrangements from a flexible clay. ​The atmosphere was great, too. thanks to the warm but not too hot temperatures (we got lucky there) and the live music on the bandstand (especially the SIUE Jazz Band). And, if you wanted, you could grab a drink, an ice cream, or some food from a food truck or tent, including Global Brew and Cold Stone Creamery, and then sit down to enjoy your selection while enjoying the music and other performing arts. Plus, the fair is a perfect family event, offering kids activities like the Maker's Space. It's awesome knowing that the fair supports the EAC's mission to keep art accessible for everyone. Mark your calendars for next year--you won't want to miss it! Maybe I'll see you there!
