15th Annual Franconia Art & Artists Celebration

Come celebrate Franconia Sculpture Park’s first fifteen years along with artists, staff, and the community, as the park hosts its 15th Annual Art and Artists Celebration on September 24th, from 10am to 10pm. This all-day event features the new sculpture installations and a full day’s entertainment presented in partnership with First Avenue, plus kids’ activities, theater, and sculpture-making.

Besides the opportunity to explore the sculptures, you can take an artist-led tour of the exhibit. “Beyond the Rhythm” belly dance artists and “Saturn’s Wings” artists on stilts will be performing throughout the day. You can create your own poured metal sculpture or have your face painted by Franconia artists. Kids and families will enjoy Magic Norm, magician and comedian. And if your pleasure is to just relax and kick back, Franconia has a spot for you.
