The festival features more than 250 juried artisans and craftsmen with hand-crafted works in sixteen different categories, live entertainment, children’s activities, food trucks and more.
Overview
The 52nd annual Artsfest will be going virtual for the first time ever on May 23-25, 2020. This decision was made to ensure the safety of the community, vendors and visitors during the evolving COVID-19 pandemic. While we will miss gathering along the banks of the Susquehanna River this year, we are excited to continue support of the artisans and the arts through an online experience. Additional details will be provided soon, but please follow the Facebook event if you are interested in participating.
