2026 Art Festival

Since its philanthropic beginnings as a fundraiser to support the Summer Music Series, the Labor Day weekend Long’s Park Art Festival has become a nationally recognized arts event in its own right. Since 1979, thousands of art lovers from throughout the mid-Atlantic region are drawn to our beautiful Long’s Park to peruse the booths of over 200 juried exhibitors from across the country. The Foundation works diligently throughout the year to transform the park into a three day outdoor art gallery - and the result is truly magical! The Art Festival’s profound success has only benefitted the Foundation over the years and while we now recognize it as a vital pillar to our mission, still to this day, proceeds from the Art Festival serve to financially supplement programming for the Summer Music Series.
