MARQUETTE -- This weekend, Picnic Rocks in Marquette will hold the 18th annual Outback Art Fair, and organizers promise the biggest fair yet.

This year there are over 130 vendors participating in the fair.

In addition to art, there will also be music by the Eclettico String Quartet along with several local musicians.

Border Grill and T's Taste of Chicago will be on hand to provide food.

Organizers say it's the sense of community that keeps the fair going year after year.

"It's a lot of fun," said organizer Cindy Engle.  "Our vendors know that we take good care of them, and our customers always find things they want.  They have favorite artists that come back year after year, and that's part of what makes it so much fun."

The Outback Art Fair runs Saturday and Sunday, starting at 10 a.m.
