Art RiNo is the centerpiece of the three-day Art RiNo festival—a free, all-day celebration of the artists, music, and creative energy that make the RiNo Art District unlike anywhere else.

A new mural by Moe Gram will be on view at RiNo ArtPark during the festival, with a dedication taking place at 12:45 PM on Saturday, October 3, just before the festival begins. New mural creation also extends beyond ArtPark, with tukeone, Emit, Mike Graves, Adden Joule, Chelsea Lewinski, Patrick Kane McGregor creating a new mural over the course of the weekend at The Denver Central Market/Graffiti Gardens Alley + Larimer Street.

Art RiNo also includes a full day of live music on the outdoor festival stage, featuring DOGTAGS, Amanda Hawkins, Brionne Aigné, Moon Honey, and the DJ Williams Band. Inside Truss House and throughout the park, artist-led experiences invite visitors to make, move, learn, and play throughout the day. Hollow Kelley will host A Hand in Creation workshop in a creative form of immersive theater. Cirque Gravizoides will offer partner acrobatics demonstrations and workshops, while Raw Groove will lead dance workshops featuring Afrobeats, country, R&B, and soul.

The Denver Graffiti Tour will offer shorter walking tours exploring RiNo's street art, history, and the stories behind the district's murals. Hanimal will lead interactive tours exploring the art and lore of RiNo ArtPark, including the “Hanimals” hidden throughout the park. JJ Bebout will demonstrate neon glass bending and share a look at the craft behind the historic signage he helps preserve through Save the Signs, a Colorado nonprofit dedicated to documenting and rescuing historic signs. OddKnock Productions will bring roaming improvisational performances to the festival, while Corey Garretson will roam the grounds as La-Di-Da-Di Claudius, a Shakespearean clown improvising sonnets for festival-goers. Denver Zine Library will host a zine-making station at the Bob Ragland Branch of the Denver Public Library in RiNo ArtPark, giving festival-goers a chance to create their own zines throughout the afternoon.

The festival also features a curated market of local artists and makers, with handmade fiber art, ceramics, jewelry, paintings, prints, woodworking, botanical creations, metal sculpture, DIY craft kits, and more.
