New Hope will once again come alive with color, music, and artistry as the 31st Annual New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival returns on Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, 2025. The popular event, held at New Hope-Solebury High School, invites families, collectors, and art lovers to enjoy a weekend celebrating creativity and community.
This juried festival has become a Bucks County tradition, drawing visitors from near and far. More than 150 contemporary artists and crafters from across the nation will present original works ranging from ceramics and jewelry to wood, fiber, painting, photography, glass, and sculpture. Visitors will have the chance to browse unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, meet the makers, and discover something special to take home.
The 2025 festival brings exciting new additions. International musician Suren Lama, visiting from Nepal on his first U.S. tour, will perform both days alongside seven other live acts. Families can enjoy an expanded children’s art area featuring hands-on workshops designed to spark young imaginations. A new Emerging Artists Tent will showcase rising talent, offering a glimpse of future stars in the art world. And when it comes time to recharge, festivalgoers can savor local flavors at the Gourmet Food Court, highlighting regional favorites and artisan treats.
“Our community looks forward to this festival every year,” said George Price, festival director. “It’s a chance to support artists, enjoy time with family, and celebrate all that makes New Hope special.”
Admission is $5, with convenient shuttle service running between Main Street and the high school throughout the weekend.
Whether you’re an avid collector or simply looking for a fun fall outing, the New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival promises a vibrant experience not to be missed.
