If you’re looking for things to do in Ferndale after Labor Day, save the second half of September.
The city has a community picnic followed by one of the biggest weekends of the year in Downtown Ferndale, when two major art fairs happen simultaneously on opposite sides of Woodward.
Ferndale Community Picnic — September 19
The Ferndale Community Picnic takes place September 19 at Martin Road Park.
The free event includes ice cream, yard games, music, face painting and classic picnic activities.
It’s a casual way to experience the community side of Ferndale outside of the downtown district.
DIY Street Fair — September 25–27
From September 25–27, the DIY Street Fair takes over the east side of Woodward Avenue in Downtown Ferndale.
Around 150 artists and makers are featured alongside food and live music.
The event has become one of Ferndale’s signature annual celebrations of independent art, creativity and local culture.
Funky Ferndale Art Fair — September 25–27
Cross Woodward and you’ll find a completely different event happening the exact same weekend.
The Funky Ferndale Art Fair features more than 140 juried artists and authors.
That means you can experience two different art fairs, one walkable downtown and one weekend.
