The BSAF started in 1972 when a small group of people gathered over a cup of coffee and planned an all-city event. A parade kicked off the inaugural festival, which had around 15 card tables of art and crafts in Pioneer Park and coinciding happenings all over town, including a 4-H horse show, antique and coin shows, and bands performing with an evening dance. Now the premier juried art festival hosts over 175 artists from across the nation, representing 15 disciplines of art including painting, sculpture, leather, mixed media, jewelry, glass, clothing, and more. The free event has six main areas— Art , Antiques , Food Booths , Artisan Food & Naturals Area , Children’s Area , and Living History Area .
