The 11th annual Ketchum Arts Festival will take place July 9-11 at Festival Meadows on Sun Valley Road next to Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church, in Sun Valley. The festival was started in 1999 by a group of six Wood River Valley artists who lacked a venue to sell their creations. The festival is run by a board and steering committee composed entirely of local artists and will feature 100 booths. In addition, food and drinks will be available from local restaurants and breweries.
