An annual event that attracts 40 plein air artists from across the country.

If you’re not in the know, plein air painting is the act of leaving the art studio and painting outdoors. During Paint the Town, you’ll see dozens of expert artists painting lakeside and other locations like Historic Main Street, Candlelight Ranch and the lower deck of River City Grille, just to name a few. Better yet, you’ll even have the chance to create your own works of art at the Quick Draw competition Saturday.
