Check out the 2025 Keeseville Community Arts Festival from July 18 – 19!
The Keeseville Community Arts Festival is a summertime celebration of all things art in the hamlet. Hosted by AdkAction, locals and visitors attending this annual festival will enjoy live music, a color walk/run, craft demonstrations, artwork for sale, and youth activities.
Kicking off earlier in the week, plein air—or outdoor—painters from across the nation will be painting scenes in and around Keeseville. For the duration of the festival, a Plein Air Art Show and Sale will be held at Keeseville’s historic Stone Mill on the Ausable River.
Be sure to check out family-friendly offerings with a local artist fair and youth arts activities located on the lawn outside the Old Stone Mill on Saturday, July 19, 10am-2pm. Local artists will be selling their artwork and giving hands-on craft demonstrations while kids of all ages can get into the creative spirit too with a variety of free, art-making activities. Young artists will have the opportunity to paint outdoors, play games and puzzles about historical buildings, tie dye their own 2025 festival t-shirt, and more! A Keeseville Coloring Book will also be available for families to pick up. Using the coloring book, families can learn about six of Keeseville’s historic landmarks and then go on a self-directed scavenger hunt to find them all!
Check out the Keeseville Community Arts Festival’s full schedule of events including live music and mural painting demonstration, plein air opening reception, raku pottery firing, and more across the Keeseville area.
