21st Annual Arts Fest Returns to Doylestown

More than 150 artisans will be selling their wares and talking to browsers about their work this weekend on the streets of downtown Doylestown.

The heart of town is closed to traffic as it is transformed into an open-air market of creativity. Jewelry, textiles, painting, sculpture - all will be on display and ready to take home.

The free family-friendly event is the largest on the town's social calendar, and draws thousands of people to town each year.

It also is a dog-friendly event, and well-behaved pooches are welcome to attend with their human companions.

It is sponsored by the Doylestown Business and Community Alliance, an all-volunteer, not-for-profit group that runs several programs to beautify and promote the borough.

It runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Free parking is available in several locations: the Bucks County parking garage on Broad Street, the lot on the corner of East Court and Broad streets across from the courthouse and in the Wells Fargo lot on West Court Street.

The festival also coincides with the Bucks County Classic professional cycling race sponsored by the Thompson Organization, and, on Sunday, the Doylestown Criterium bike race which loops around the Arts Festival.
