Know Before You Go: 33rd Annual Manayunk Arts Festival


What is the Manayunk Arts Festival?

The Manayunk Arts Festival is back and celebrating its 33rd year! The Manayunk Arts Festival is the Tri-State's largest outdoor, juried arts festival! This year, there will be over 200 artists in Manayunk presenting the best variety of fine arts and crafts from across the country. It is a rain or shine event, so come dressed according to the weather and make sure you stay hydrated!


When and where is it happening?

The festival begins on Saturday, June 25th from 11 AM - 7 PM and continues on Sunday, June 26th from 11 AM - 6 PM.

This year, Manayunk Arts Festival is back in full swing, even bigger than before! Main Street will be closed and hundreds of artists will line the street. You can find our Emerging Artists in the Richards Apex lot between Pensdale and Rector.


What types of artists will be at the festival this year?

The 2022 artists and vendors feature seven different disciplines: Fiber, Glass & Ceramics, Jewelry, Mixed Media, Painting & Drawing, Photography, and Wood & Sculpture. We are excited to host Emerging Artists again this year. Look for these budding artists at the Venice Island parking lot off of Lock Street.
