Sternwheel Art Stroll APPLICATION

Sternwheel Art Stroll ~ APPLICATION ~

Every September on the weekend after Labor Day... thousands of people visit the shores of the Ohio River to listening to live music, eat great food, experience phenomenal fireworks, and explore the charm of MARIETTA, OHIO. The Ohio River Sternwheel Festival is excited to return to the roots of the Craft Show of years past. THE STERNWHEEL STROLL (SAS) will feature Handmade Art with Hometown Heart... emphasis on "Handmade". Our mission is to celebrate the craftsmanship of our exceptional local and regional makers. The 2025 Stroll will be a smaller, more intimate show—by design—as we prepare to expand in a BIG (!) WAY for the festival’s 50th celebration in 2026. For this reason, a limited number of diverse artisans will be awarded entry. We invite you to be a part of our reINVENTED show and can't wait to grow this event in 2026!
