Art Night Out is Lafayette, Colorado’s Annual Summer Series of Events.

Art Night Out features live music, street performers, an art market with ~50 vendors, food trucks, and a beer, wine, and cider garden. In 2022, Art Night Out won the People’s Choice Award for “Best Community Event.” This community gathering is truly #whatmakeslafayettegreat!

This always-free public event is held on the second Friday of the month, May through September from 5-9pm on S. Public Road between Emma and Cannon Streets in Lafayette, Colorado.

The Art Market @ Art Night Out is run by Arts!Lafayette, a Lafayette, Colorado-based 501c(3) non-profit dedicated to making more art possible in Lafayette. One of the ways we do that is by managing the Art Market @ Art Night Out. Our first year managing the Art Market was 2025, after Firsthand Markets moved from Colorado. We’ve worked hard to provide a positive experience for all the amazing vendors that make the market as successful as it is. It was truly an honor and a pleasure working with each and every vendor our first year!

All proceeds from running the Lafayette Art Market help support Making More Art Possible™ in Lafayette via Arts!Lafayette, a volunteer-run non-profit.

The mission of ARTS!Lafayette is to support the growth of arts, artists, and organizations that further Lafayette’s identity as a creative community.  

We do this by:

  • Raising funds for cultural arts.
  • Funding cultural arts endeavors through organizational and direct
    community support.
  • Encouraging public interest in cultural arts, activities, services,
    programs and facilities.

In August of 2024 we took steps to begin managing the Art Market that has become such an integral part of Art Night Out, Lafayette’s summer series of art and music events.

We look forward to continue serving all of the amazing artists that help make the Art Market @ Art Night Out so amazing. We are here for you – to answer questions, to assist with the registration process, and to ensure that everyone has a great time!
