The Hamtramck Neighborhood Arts Festival (HNAF) highlights Hamtramck, Michigan, a creative, dense city of 2 square miles, and the artists and musicians who call it home. It’s a welcoming community that breeds incredible diversity and boundless creativity. 

This isn't your typical festival, participating creators in the community host the audience in their home studios, front porches, parks, coffee shops, or galleries around the city. Traveling between these venues throughout Hamtramck, the audience curates their own experience.

It’s a community-organized festival that allows anyone in the city and the surrounding neighborhood to contribute to or host an event. The HNAF embraces the idea that art is for everyone - all are welcome to participate, and all are welcome to tour the artists’ workspaces and attend the day (and night) long events. 

Festivalgoers are encouraged to grab a bite to eat while in Hamtramck - we would like to specifically point you toward Dos Locos Tacos near the corner of Caniff and Jos Campau, our top festival sponsor this year. Coffee shops and bakeries, fresh produce and spice markets abound, along with plentiful bars.
