The 50th Kentuck Festival of the Arts

Mark your calendars for October 16 and 17, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Saturday and 9:00 am – 4:00 pm Sunday, rain or shine, to be a part of this soulful and fun connection of art, artists, music, and friends! This two-day festival has been a part of the lives of many collectors and undiscovered artists who are now in textbooks, galleries, and museums, such as the High Museum in Atlanta and the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C. This event takes place in Kentuck Park located 3 blocks from Kentuck Art Center in historical downtown Northport, Alabama. The park is filled with beautiful, tall, southern pines lining the path to over 250 artists from across the US. They bring their art and unique stories of adventure and challenges that enrich and encourage the soul! Food trucks, craft beer, art demonstrations, a fun filled kids’ area, music stage, and spoken word stage also brings delight to all of the senses! Truly a healing balm after being isolated and cancelled due to the pandemic in 2020. The Festival is part of the Kentuck Center of the Art's year-round programming and we are proud to invite you to our 50th Anniversary to experience for yourself why so many call this festival “A Heaven of a Place”.
