Each year, the festival transforms The Square into a dynamic outdoor gallery, welcoming more than 10,000 visitors to experience art in all its forms. Explore work from more than 130 talented artists and artisans from across the country, showcasing one-of-a-kind pieces in every medium imaginable. From paintings and photography to ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, and mixed media, you’ll find high-caliber, original work at every turn.
Spend the day exploring booths filled with original art, fashion and pet accessories, home and garden décor, furniture, natural bath and body products, handcrafted candy, sauces, teas, and so much more. Whether you’re searching for something special for your home or a unique gift, there’s something to discover around every corner.
The festival is more than just shopping. It’s an immersive creative experience. Enjoy live artist demonstrations, hands-on activities including a community chalk art experience, and VisArts gallery tours featuring contemporary exhibitions that spark curiosity and conversation.
Food trucks will keep everyone fueled with a variety of local favorites throughout the weekend.
Your visit makes a lasting impact. Proceeds from the Rockville Arts Festival help support VisArts’ mission to expand access to the arts across Montgomery County. This includes programs like VisAbility Art Lab, scholarships for classes, camps, and workshops, and free and low-cost community outreach programs. Beyond the art, the Rockville Arts Festival plays a vital role in strengthening the local community, supporting working artists, small businesses, and economic growth throughout the region.
