Check out the 2024 Keeseville Community Arts Festival from July 19 – 20!

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, and art demonstrations. 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 Arts in the Park, located on the lawn outside the Old Stone Mill and at the Ausable Valley Grange on Saturday, July 20, 10am-3pm. Local artists in pottery, flower arranging, beading, jewelry making, candle making, and graphic arts will sell their artwork and demonstrate their craft.

Kids of all ages have the opportunity to engage in the arts with free, hands-on activities too! Young artists can enjoy face painting, outdoor painting at the Keeseville Community Garden from 10am-12pm, and a tie dye workshop with 2024 festival t-shirts. There’s even an Anderson Falls Heritage Society Scavenger Hunt from 1-3pm, just for kids!
