Prepare for LANDING! This August 2nd from 1–7PM, downtown Elgin becomes a galactic hotspot as AREA 22 touches down on Riverside Drive! Brought to you by Side Street Studio Arts, this isn’t just an art fair — it’s an interdimensional experience where fine arts, crafts, and curious oddities collide in the most vibrant corner of the Fox Valley.

Wander among alien-worthy artistry, witness live art and sculpture-making in real time, fuel up on stellar food and cosmic beverages, and groove to entertainment from this world and beyond. It's fun for earthlings of all ages — and yes, even your pets from other planets are welcome (dogs, snakes, or whatever species you roll with).

Free admission. Free parking. Rain or shine. Whether you're an art connoisseur, a curious collector, or just here for the strange and spectacular, AREA 22 is the ultimate art fair from another dimension.

Warning: You may experience more exciting art fairs in the universe… but we seriously doubt it.
