The Village of Three Oaks has become a year-round home for the arts. The Acorn Theater is home to a 1930's Barton Theater Pipe Organ as well a robust schedule of stage theater, performance art and live music of all genre. Live music fills the air throughout the summer months in the various parks in Three Oaks. Dewey Cannon Park hosts "Music in the Park" with live music every Saturday in the summer. These performances are free to the public and family friendly. Dewey Cannon Park will be the venue this year for the annual "Great American Music Festival" and fireworks held every 4th of July weekend. Live music of all variety can be heard weekly at the Featherbone Restaurant. Independent and foreign film run throughout the year at the Vickers Theatre with the annual "Harbor Country Sound of Silents Film Festival" held in August.

Works from Midwest and National artists can be found at the galleries of "Out of the Blue", "Dawning, Art the Gift", "Gallery 107," and the gallery at the Vickers Theatre. Artists receptions and openings are held throughout the year. You can visit artists at work in their studios at the Featherbone Lofts. An eclectic collection of art and art objects can be found at Springdale, Ipso Facto, Jenny's Antiques and Belle Via Market.

Every 3rd Saturday of the month the galleries and select shops are hosting a Gallery Walk. These businesses are extending their hours for the night and some are hosting receptions, providing live music and artist demonstrations. The next Gallery Walk is scheduled for June 17, while further "3rd Saturday Gallery Walk" dates include July 15 and August 19 from 5-11pm.

Three Oaks is one of the few villages in the country with the official position of Village Poet Laureate. Amy Mitchell held the first honor in 2003, gracing special events in Three Oaks with her original poetry. Readings are held throughout the year at the Acorn Theater, Vickers Theatre and in Dewey Cannon Park.

The century-old Featherbone Factory has been given new life thanks to long time property owners, new property owners, the State of Michigan, and the Village of Three Oaks Downtown Development Authority and Council.

The new roadway and parking lot has given infrastructure for the Acorn Theater, artist's studios, galleries, retail and future restaurant. The roadway was completed in 2004.
