16th Annual ArtFest

ArtFest will take place between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on the south side of Main Street in downtown Bloomsburg, surrounding the monument on the Square and down Market Street past 3rd Street, with more than fifty art and craft and food vendors, plus activities for adults and children from a dozen local non-profits, plus the best our our area’s food trucks, AND live music by local and regional performers all day.

Later in the year, you will find the complete list of art and craft exhibitors, including our non-profit partners, along with the food vendors and all of the musicians, at ExchangeArts.org/artfest; for now, you can see who made last year’s event so successful.

The event provides a lively, comfortable atmosphere for the general public to see art, meet and talk with artists about their studio practices, and purchase fine artworks. Attendance has grown by 100% since the move to the Square in 2017; in 2023, more than 4000 people attended.
