ArtsFest

ArtsFest is a free to all summer festival celebrating the arts in all its forms. 40,000 people attended the festival in its third year, enjoying the world-class presentation of diverse visual and musical artists in Classical, World, Folk & Jazz, and activities that appeal to a broad 30 – 60+ year old demographic – specifically new families and empty nesters with higher disposable income – who are not inclined to attend pop & rock music or camping type ticketed festivals. 

Street musicians with portable instruments engage with festival goers alongside artisan vendors and visual art instructors, and theatre actors in an interactive experience for young & old. A dedicated family zone with dance & theatrical performances, storytelling, pop up art galleries, and interactive art activities for children & youth all have dedicated spaces within the free festival.
