About The Manayunk Arts Festival

Join us in celebrating The 36th Annual Manayunk Arts Festival this year!

Since 1990, the show has built itself into being the tri-state area’s largest outdoor, juried art festival featuring approximately 300 different local and nationally known artists and crafters. Collectors, buyers, and designers will visit Main Street during the two-day, closed street event. The festival is free to the public and features artists from eight different disciplines: fiber, glass, ceramics, jewelry, mixed media, painting & drawing, photography, and wood & sculpture.

Throughout the weekend, visitors can plan to take in the art, enjoy food and beverages from Manayunk’s renowned restaurants, and cool off by shopping at Manayunk’s unique boutiques and stores.
