About the event

Mark your calendars for October 17 (9-5) and 18 (9-4), 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. The 2026 Kentuck Festival of the Arts will be held at Snow Hinton Park in Tuscaloosa, AL. The Kentuck Festival of the Arts will feature 270+ artists. 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 bring delight to all of the senses! The Festival is part of the Kentuck Art Center's year-round programming, and we are proud to invite you to our 55th Festival to experience for yourself why so many call this festival “A Heaven of a Place”.

For Artist Load In, volunteers will be monitoring vehicle permits to ensure vehicles are being moved in a timely manner. Additionally, these volunteers will help artists unload their vehicles.

These volunteers must be able to tell an artist no and must feel comfortable asking cars to be moved offsite.
