Calling all art lovers! Lewisburg Arts Council invites you to its annual Arts Festival on April 27, 2024, from 10 AM to 5 PM. The Lewisburg Arts Festival will take place on Market Street, with over 120 artists and artisanal food booths between Front and 7th Street. The event is free and open to the public.
The Lewisburg Arts Festival is proud to spotlight a diverse range of arts and crafts, from fine arts to folk art, contemporary, and classical. We are equally proud to say that nearly half of our vendors are local and more than half are returning vendors. That means that you’ll be able to catch many of your favorite artists from last year this April. It also means that there will be plenty of new artists to meet and lots of exciting new art to admire. There is bound to be something for everyone.
While many of our vendors are local, we are delighted to welcome vendors from seven nearby states, including New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio. Many talented Lewisburg artists will be here as well! Our Festival is juried by a panel of artists to ensure the highest quality and broadest appeal. Our jurors score each applicant anonymously based on quality of craft, artistic merit, artistic theme, innovation, and presentation. This system keeps the Festival interesting, innovative, and fresh. A word from the wise: if you see something you love, buy it, or someone else will!
In addition to our artists, we will have over 40 food and beverage vendors. Many of them are tried and true vendors from years past, so you can be sure to find your favorite treat while you peruse the artists’ booths. The kids will love our FREE petting zoo, courtesy of our friends at Ashburn’s Animals. The day is brimming with fun for all ages, featuring balloon art by Air Weaver Balloons, hands-on activities from local nonprofits at our Interactive Arts area, and musical and dance performances at two separate venues. We are moving things around this year, so check out our Festival map for a comprehensive list of all vendors, favorite activities, and entertainment, and where you can find them. Look for the map and directory in April to plan your day.
As you plan your visit, you’ll want to make sure to save time to meet the Festival’s Featured Artist, Robert Haefner. His photographs will be on display at The Gallery, 15 North Water Street, through April 28. On Festival Day, The Gallery will be open from 10 AM to 5 PM, and you can meet the artist from 1 PM to 3 PM.
