Everyone is invited to this free, family event in Downtown Hyattsville! The Festival features over 100 jury-selected artist and artisans as well as craft breweries, food vendors, live music performances, and children's activities. There's something for everyone at this event. From shopping, locally brewed beer, great food, and fun activities, we have you covered. Ales are sold by the glass, ages 21+.

Every year, more than 50,000 visitors stroll down Mt. Vernon Avenue in Del Ray, Alexandria, between Bellefonte and Hume Avenues — people are greeted by more than 300 artists (jewelers, silversmiths & beaders, woodworkers, pottery makers, soap crafters, glass makers, unique painters, sculptors, fabric artists & more), musicians (Irish, folk, rock-n-roll, country & more), and food vendors (hot dogs, BBQ, Indian, Mexican, pizza, crab cakes, chocolate bananas dipped on sticks, homemade cider donuts & more). Kids activities have always been a vital part of the festival — stuff your own scarecrow, paint a pumpkin, lotus flower design, weave screen art, to name a few.
