Nic Fest 2026

Overview

One of Casper’s favorites and longest-running downtown festivals celebrates all things creative. At NIC Fest more than 70 regional artists showcase their craft for visitors who peruse and purchase art pieces ranging from Wyoming landscapes to modern media. NIC Fest is hosted by the Nicolaysen Art Museum (Casper’s largest art museum), and it takes place outside on the museum grounds. It continues to grow each year, and, while the art is outstanding, you’ll find yourself browsing through much more than just art. At the NIC Fest, you’ll find jewelry, handmade clothing, hand-squeezed lemonade, specialty sweets and new surprises year after year. This free, three-day, family-friendly event features live music, food and entertainment in early June.
