Arts Huntsville is here to cure your “indooritis” with the Monte Sano Art Festival!
Over two days, you’ll have the chance to explore the works of more than 140 visual artists from all over the nation while enjoying the great outdoors, amidst the woods and breathtaking views of Monte Sano Mountain.
When is the Monte Sano Art Festival?
The Monte Sano Art Festival will be held on Saturday, September 19th, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday, September 20th, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The festival is free, but you'll need to pay $10 per car for parking or $5 per walk-in to enter Monte Sano State Park, where the festival is held. Carpooling is encouraged to help reduce traffic and parking demand. Please note that park admission is cash only, and these fees help preserve and support our beautiful state park. All ages are welcome, so bring the whole family, including your leashed pets!
Artists will accept cash and cards, but cash is encouraged in case of reception issues on the mountain.
What to Expect at this Mountain Air Art Show
The festival has been designed so that festival-goers can safely roam. You’ll find art to adorn your halls, walls, and even your ears! Let’s be honest: We could all use a little retail therapy. Click here for a sneak peek of some of the artists and artwork.
Of course, all that shopping will work up an appetite. Artworks of the food variety will be available from Iceworks Shaved Ice, Piper & Leaf Tea, Golden Years Ice Cream, Yum Yum's Popcorn & Lemonade, Big Flavor Tenders & Wings, New South Hot Dog & Sushi, Southern Comfort, and Happi Pappi Beignets!
While you shop and eat, you can also listen to local musicians. You will hear Winslow Davis, Saxophonist Alex Banks, Sylvia Dean, Opera Huntsville, Josh Allison, Michael Goldsmith, and the Randolph Music Department on Saturday. Sunday, you can enjoy Alexix Jackson, Carly Little, Brad & Clint, Josh Taylor, the Randolph Music Department, Clara Hopper, and Tanya Harris.
