Sponsor River Clay
If it's October, it's River Clay.
River Clay returns to downtown Decatur October 23 to 25, 2026 for our 11th season, with around 70 juried artists, live music, food, and family programming. When you sponsor River Clay, you put your name in front of thousands of art lovers across the Tennessee Valley and help keep original art at the heart of downtown Decatur every October.
Pick the level that fits your goals, and we will tailor the rest. Higher levels include named festival assets and category visibility.
