PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Paradise City Arts Festival
Three County Fairgrounds | Northampton, MA
Event Dates: October 11-13, Indigenous People’s Day Weekend

The art event you’ve been waiting for is here! Bring your flannels and join the thousands of collectors, creatives, and curious minds at New England’s premier show of contemporary craft & fine art. It’s more than an art fair—it’s a full-on experience: think live music, killer local food, and a vibe that’s equal parts gallery, street fair, and creative playground.

We’ve assembled 200 curated artists & makers from across the country, featuring handmade home decor, sculpture, fashion, jewelry, and more.

Make sure to check out Back to Basics, a special themed exhibition that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what we do best. Celebrating the pieces our exhibitors are most proud of, Back to Basics is a chance to slow down and spotlight what matters most: skillful, and soulful creation.
