The 8th annual West Main Arts Festival will be back and bigger than ever from noon to 7 p.m. Sept. 14, 2024!

Picture this: a vibrant four-block street scene filled with thousands of visitors, 75 artist and maker booths, 20 food trucks, 20 local bands, a beer/wine garden, and street performers. Plus, the Arlington Public Library will host an interactive kids' area in Gene Allen Pocket Park.

This lively stretch of West Main and the Cultural District includes Dance Theater Arlington, Boys & Girls Club, Theater Arlington, Wellspring, High Grind, Worthington Bank, Arlington Fire Station No. 1, Arlington Public Library, Catalyst Creative, City Hall, F6 Gallery, and the Levitt Pavilion.

Music lovers, rejoice! From Noon to 10 p.m., enjoy free, live music across three stages featuring 20 local bands and buskers playing along West Main Street. After the festival, head over to the Levitt for more live music from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Don’t forget your lawn chairs to relax and soak in the tunes. It’s a family-friendly event, and pets are welcome too!

This festival was created nine years ago by Arlington residents to celebrate and support local artists and musicians. Now more than ever, we need our community's support to keep our creative space thriving.

Our vision is to foster an engaged and diverse community where passionate people love to Live, Work, and Create. For more details on the West Main Fest, including how to become a vendor or sponsor, visit the event website.
