DOYLESTOWN ARTS FESTIVAL: The art and music festival in downtown Doylestown, Pa., returns for its 33rd year on September 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The Doylestown Arts Festival will return for its 33rd anniversary this September 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The festival remains free to attend and is designed to illuminate the region’s ongoing commitment to arts and culture. For two days the historic downtown Doylestown, Pa., streets will be transformed into a lively outdoor marketplace full of art and music from local and regionally recognized creators.

Founded in 1991, the Doylestown Arts Festival has supported independent artists and musicians for over 30 years, while drawing attention and tourism to the local community. This year’s festival will offer familiar favorites to longtime attendees and an engaging experience for those new to the area and visiting from afar. The two-day street festival will showcase a curated lineup of over 160 artists, 30 performances across five stages of live music, art demonstrations from plein air painting to pottery wheel turning, and activities for all ages to enjoy.

Home to over 8,000 residents as well as the Michener Art Museum, Mercer Museum and Fonthill Castle, TileWorks, the County Theater, and a downtown featuring galleries, restaurants, and locally owned shops and boutiques, Doylestown is nationally recognized as a destination town.

The Doylestown Arts Festival is made possible by a small volunteer committee of Discover Doylestown and is presented by the Thompson Organization. For more information, visit dtownartsfestival.com.
