38th Annual Manayunk Arts Festival

The Manayunk Development Corporation invites artists to the 38th Annual Manayunk Arts Festival, the tri-state's largest outdoor, juried arts and crafts festival. The festival takes place Saturday, June 26th, 2027 (11am-7pm) and Sunday, June 27th, 2027 (11am-5pm) on historic Main Street in Manayunk, Philadelphia. Nearly 150,000 collectors, buyers, and designers attend this two-day event.

The festival is open to all artists who design and produce their own work in fiber, glass, ceramics, jewelry, mixed media, painting & drawing, photography, and wood & sculpture. All artwork must be the sole work of the applying artist; buy-sell artwork is prohibited. Artists must be present both days of the festival to sell their work. Applicants must submit 4 high-resolution images of their work and 1 high-resolution image of their booth display through Zapplication.org. The jury fee is $30 and the booth fee is $495 (due upon acceptance). Early decision deadline is March 7th, 2027; final deadline is April 12th, 2027. Approximately 300 artists are selected from an average of 500 applications. Five jurors score work on a 1-5 scale, evaluating medium, quality, creation process, uniqueness, price point, booth display & signage, and overall presentation.

Each artist receives a 10'x10' booth space and 10'x3' storage space. All setup occurs the morning of the festival on Saturday, June 26th.
