2023 marks the 57th Upper Arlington Labor Day Arts Festival. The art show, first held in 1966, was organized by local artists and held in local parks like Miller Park and the Mallway. The art show then moved to the Municipal Services Center on Tremont Road and upon further expansion, moved from the Municipal Center to Northam Park in 1986. Since 1986, the festival has grown in size to now accommodate some 200 artists, vendors, activity areas, performances, and takes the work of staff, volunteers, and a Coordinating Committee to produce.
