The Doylestown Arts Festival will return for its 33rd anniversary on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 7 and 8, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The festival remains free to attend and is designed to illuminate the regions ongoing commitment to arts and culture. For two days the historic downtown Doylestown streets will be transformed into a lively outdoor marketplace full of art and music from local and regionally recognized creators. Founded in 1991, the Doylestown Arts Festival has supported independent artists and musicians for over 30 years, while drawing attention and tourism to the local community. This years festival will offer familiar favorites to long-time attendees and a vibrant experience for those new to the area and visiting from afar. The two-day street festival will showcase a curated lineup of over 160 artists, 30 performances across five stages of live music, art demonstrations from plein air painting to pottery wheel turning, and activities for all ages to enjoy. The Doylestown Arts Festival gathers so many talented artisans together in the heart of downtown. We love the celebratory atmosphere, meeting the artists, and chatting with them about their work. The Doylestown Arts Festival is one of the first things on our calendars each year, and we enjoy walking in with our neighbors to explore the scene: art, food, and music all highlight the best parts of our town. Its a seamless addition to Doylestowns vibrant shops and permanent cultural keystones. I appreciate that the Doylestown Arts Festival is an integral part of our towns character, said Elizabeth Wyckoff, Doylestown Borough resident. Home to over 8,000 residents as well as the Michener Art Museum, Mercer Museum & Fonthill Castle, TileWorks, the County Theater, and a robust downtown of galleries, restaurants, and locally-owned shops and boutiques, Doylestown is nationally recognized as a destination town. The Doylestown Arts Festival is made possible by a small volunteer committee of Discover Doylestown and is presented by the Thompson Organization.
