This annual show is not one to be missed. There are regulars who attend every year, as well as newbies who decide to check it out for the first time. Take a leisurely stroll down Main Street and enjoy some ice cream on these hot summer days while exploring hundreds of booths showcasing a variety of work for sale. You’ll find everything from jewelry and photography to painting, glass, ceramics, and sculpture – and of contemporary, traditional, eclectic, and various regional styles from artists who travel from around the country to attend. In fact, each year the festival attracts approximately 300,000 artists, designers, buyers, and collectors.

This year’s show also features the Manayunk Musicfest – live music playing throughout the day – both Saturday and Sunday – with special performances.

The Manayunk Arts Festival is sponsored by Lincoln-Mercury; Canada Dry; B101; and the Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News, and Philly.com. Additional sponsors include Parkway, BoltBus, Crowne Plaza, Kashi, and the Patron Spirits Company.
