Attendance Could Improve at 2013 Wyandotte Street Art Fair
Trenton Mid-Summer Festival changes its conflicting dates; Wyandotte art fair organizer believes it will improve participation at both events.
The Trenton Mid-Summer Festival is changing its dates for 2013, which means it won’t run at the same time as the Wyandotte Street Art Fair.
“I believe that having any event during the same time as our fair affects the attendance,” said Heather Thiede, Wyandotte's special event coordinator. “It is a benefit to both events that the date was changed.”
The Trenton Mid-Summer Festival has fallen on same date as the Wyandotte Street Art Fair for the past few years.

The dates for the 2013 Wyandotte Street Art Fair are July 10-13.
