Whitefish Arts Festival Celebrates Local Talent Again
Published on 7.7.25
The Whitefish Arts Festival, held in Depot Park under the Whitefish range, is a beloved event that showcases local art and brings the community together. Vendors like John Janca and Eric Reese, who have been part of the festival for 19 years, contribute to its success. Janca's artwork, featuring animals such as bears and wildlife, has a profound impact on attendees, including a woman who lost her son who loved dragonflies. Reese, a photographer specializing in Glacier National Park, credits the community for supporting local artists, allowing him to raise his family and live in Whitefish. The festival, now in its 19th year, looks forward to continuing next year with the support of local artists like Janca and Reese.
