Kennett Arts Festival

Kennett Library is pleased to announce that it will host the third annual Kennett Arts Festival on September 21st & 22nd, 2024. All proceeds will benefit the Kennett Library.

The event will showcase more than 100 local and regional artists’ work in an array of mediums, across palates and price points. Patrons may purchase artwork as well as artisans’ jewelry, wooden items, glass designs, and much more.

The Kennett Arts Festival has something for everyone: art, live music, children’s activities, and a selection of local food vendors, including beer and wine.

The Kennett Library has served the Southern Chester County area for over 125 years and last year opened a new library building that will serve the area for generations to come. Visit the library at 320 E. State Street, Kennett Square PA and see for yourself all that it has to offer.
