The City of Ontario’s Museum, Arts & Culture Department and the Chaffey Community Museum of Art invite you to the free Ontario Arts Festival on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 10 AM – 5 PM in the Downtown Ontario Arts District. Now in its seventh year, the festival continues to exemplify the City’s commitment to making Ontario the premier destination for arts and culture in the Inland Empire. This year the festival will feature over sixty artist booths, offering a wide variety of visual, decorative, and functional art, as well as other attractions for visitors–free entry into museums, art experiences by commissioned artist Katya Orlovie, hands-on artmaking activities, live demonstrations, and more. The Museum courtyard will be transformed to highlight the “Día de los Muertos: Celebrating Artistic Journeys” exhibition, featuring activities hosted by exhibiting artist group Kalli Arte Collective where participants of all ages can build their own altar and participate in printmaking and collage workshops. Festival goers will enjoy live Latin jazz music by Homero Chavez y Una Noche. There will be food and beverage from local eateries Tacos Chicanx, Marigold Coffee, Ortiz Ice Cream, and a bar catered by the Ontario Convention Center featuring local brews and wines. The festival showcases a wide range of artistic media, including fine art, textiles, ceramics, digital art, photography, jewelry, metal, wood, and glasswork. One exhibiting artist will be awarded a first-place prize of $500, selected by a jury, for setting the highest standard of artistry and booth design.
