Organized by the City of Tyler Downtown Department and Tyler Art Lift, the Tyler Art Festival serves as a platform for regional creators to display and sell their work. This year's edition features a diverse range of artistic mediums, including acrylic and spray paintings, pottery, jewelry, beadwork, and handmade stuffed animals. Due to ongoing construction in the downtown area, the 2026 event was relocated to the Caldwell Arts Academy Field, though it is expected to return to the new Downtown Square in future years.

Public activities include live musical performances and a selection of local food vendors. Families can participate in interactive programming such as face painting, balloon animals, and pottery painting. A specific highlight of the day is the official grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for Art Alley, scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
