Now in its 49th year, the North River Arts Society Festival of the Arts is a Memorial Day weekend celebration featuring fine art, sculpture, photography, artisan vendors, live music, performances, children’s activities, local food, and the giant puppet parade.
A weekend of creativity for the whole community.
We’re kicking off our 49th Annual Festival of the Arts in style with Booty Vortex on Friday, May 22!
Enjoy catering by H COLE Club, get a sneak peek of our Juried National Exhibit, and check out some seriously good raffle items you won’t want to miss. Plus, we’re introducing a brand new festival highlight: the Festival Feature Paint Around. Awards at 7PM! |
