Chico Artoberfest is an annual celebration of arts and culture in Chico, CA.

Chico Artoberfest is a month-long festival of arts & culture featuring more than 100 exhibits, concerts, art fairs and more. Enjoy a banjo-strumming Steve Martin at Laxson Auditorium (presented by Chico Performances) or the Irish folk & celtic music of John Doyle or storytelling by Gordy Ohliger (recently featured by NPR) to special events like the National Yo-Yo Championships and Open Studios Tour.

America’s No. 10 Art Town has something for everyone— from beautiful natural landscapes to world-class performances, art and entertainment to some of the best beer (Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is located here) and sweets (Shubert’s Ice Cream Parlor, purveyor of ice cream and candy since 1938. Did you know Shubert's was one of four finalists in Good Morning America’s "Best Scoops in America" contest). If natural art is what you desire, visit Bidwell Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the nation. Pristine with peregrine falcons, hawks, bear and salmon, Bidwell Park is something you won't want to miss. It’s all here. It’s affordable. It’s all waiting. What are you waiting for? Your Stay-cation just got better!
