YELLOW SPRINGS — Cyclops Fest is coming to the heart of downtown Yellow Springs this weekend, rain or shine, in all of its “DIY wonderfulness.”

The event will be held 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10 in its new location, the lawn at Mills Lawn Elementary, 200 S. Walnut St.

For the 6th year in a row, the festival featuring handmade art, live DJs and good food will showcase some of Ohio’s best artisans and musical acts.

With over 80 vendors, the lawn will be full of pottery, home decor, jewelry, paper goods, henna, apparel and art, for window shoppers and buyers alike.

Along with a food truck court, a beer garden featuring Yellow Springs Brewery will also be present for visitors to enjoy. For kids, Decoy Art Studio will offer activities including a pottery wheel hands-on demonstration and a Cyclops Monster takeaway project.

Admission is free.

Cyclops Fest is presented by Urban Hand Made and Clay and Stan Advertising Agency in partnership with the Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce, located downtown.
