Celebrating 30 years of arts, community, and entertainment in Bowling Green, OH

BSAF is a free arts and live music festival held the first full weekend after Labor Day. Ride the shuttle - it makes parking a breeze. We hope to see you here.

Experience three days of free concerts and fine art shows in historic downtown Bowling Green, Ohio. The Black Swamp Arts Festival is an award-winning art festival and the largest free live music festival in Ohio. Fun fact: The Black Swamp Arts Festival is a non-profit run entirely by volunteers.

Admission is free. Seriously, there are no tickets. It's a great time for all.
