Creativity Takes Center Stage at the 31st Annual New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival

Art lovers and community seekers, mark your calendars! The beloved New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival celebrates its 31st year on September 27 and 28, 2025, at New Hope–Solebury High School. This two-day event brings together over 160 juried fine artists and craftspeople showcasing a breathtaking range of creative works—from stunning oil paintings and delicate watercolors to innovative mixed media, jewelry, fiber arts, photography, ceramics, and woodworking.

Beyond the amazing array of artwork, the festival is alive with the sounds of local live music performances by John Thomas, Timi Hendrix, Suren Lama, and Chris Zaic. Food trucks offering diverse cuisines, hands-on demonstrations, and fun kids’ activities add to the lively festival atmosphere. Visitors can stroll through the parking lot venue—which is just a short walk from New Hope’s vibrant business district—and take advantage of a free shuttle service to downtown galleries and shops.

Michael Sklar, President of the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce, highlights the festival’s spirit: “It’s not just about picking up art; it’s about connecting with the stories behind each piece, supporting local artists, and becoming part of the community.” This festival truly embodies New Hope’s creative culture and longstanding tradition of celebrating the arts.

Whether you’re a collector searching for that perfect piece or a family looking for an inspiring weekend outing, the New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival promises a memorable experience filled with color, creativity, and community warmth. Admission is a $5 donation, with parking available nearby.
