Less Than 1 Month Left To Join 31st Doylestown Arts Festival

DOYLESTOWN, PA — There's just under a month left to apply to be part of the Doylestown Arts Festival, organizers announced in a Call-to-Action ahead of the May 7 deadline.

The iconic Doylestown celebration of visual art and performance will return Sep. 10 and 11, running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

"This juried art festival featuring unique and one-of-a-kind works of art, brings an audience of buyers and collectors, to the ever-changing outdoor marketplace that takes over downtown Doylestown," organizers wrote.

The event has also become such a favorite because its free to the public, meaning all enthusiasts can enjoy the fun. It's also meant to offer something for all ages.

"Home to over 8,000 residents as well as the James A. Michener Art Museum, the Mercer Museum and Fonthill Castle, the TileWorks, the County Theater, and a robust array of galleries, restaurants, and locally-owned shops and boutiques, Doylestown is nationally recognized as a destination town," organizers said.

And the arts festival brings a new dimension to the vibrant community for its weekend run each year.

"Doylestown Arts Festival has supported local and regional artists and performers for over 30 years," organizers said.

The festival also hopes to accommodate best public health practices, such as additional spacing to allow for social distancing and hand-washing/sanitizing stations. Proceedings are organized by a small volunteer committee of Discover Doylestown, and the event is presented by the Thompson Organization.

More information about this year’s festival is available online, and the application is available here.
