St. George Art Festival Returns!
Celebrating 46 years of creativity and inspiration April 18-19, 2025.
One of the most cherished rites of spring in St. George arrives soon when the 2025 St. George Art Festival sets up shop in Historic Town Square. Slated for April 18-19, the event will showcase the works of nationally renowned artists, along with live music, food trucks and booths, a film festival, 5K race, dedicated children’s area and more. In addition, two free concerts will connect festival-goers in a celebration of the power of the arts to enrich a community.
“Each year, the St. George Art Festival unites residents and visitors alike in discovering the joy of artistic creativity and excellence,” said Peyton Lee, Community Arts Manager for the City of St. George. “The hallmark of the festival is its ability to unite creators and consumers of art in all its myriad formats.”
Held annually over Easter Weekend, the must-see event offers paintings, ceramics, sculptures, textiles, glassworks, photography, fine jewelry, and more, all carefully curated from hundreds of submissions from across the U.S. This year, more than 160 artists were accepted into the show.
On April 18, the festival will run from 11 AM to 7 PM. Then Tabernacle Street will come alive with the feel-good musical offerings of “Yachty By Nature,” whose take on the ‘70s and ‘80s “yacht rock” favorites will surely have everyone on their feet. The festival continues April 19 at 9 AM with the Art Attack 1-mile and 5K race. Artwork will be displayed from 10 AM to 6 PM, concluding with another concert on Tabernacle Street featuring indie rockers The Greeting Committee, veterans of Lollapalooza, and the South by Southwest conference and festival.
Attendees can participate in a wide array of enjoyable activities, including:
- Live entertainment on three stages scattered throughout Town
