Artspire La Crosse festivities will go on RAIN OR SHINE, Saturday June 8, 10am to 7pm!

The Pump House has created a “Plan B” or Rain Plan to ensure that, no matter the weather, the Fine Arts Fair and Sale, performances, food service, and interactive arts run smoothly.

Depending on the severity of the weather, festivities will be moved from Riverside Park to indoors at the Pump House and adjacent Parking Garages if there are thunderstorms and lightning in the forecast. Our rain plan is set to keep artists, artwork, performers and all attendees safe and comfortable in the possible inclement weather.

We will make the decision by the evening of Wednesday, June 5 or morning of Thursday, June 6. Notifications will go out to everyone via emails, social media, on our website and signage on our grounds.

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES! If it may happen, don’t let the rain keep you away, come help us celebrate the arts in our community – Rain or Shine!
