Art on the Island Festival
The new and improved arts and music (used to be MAD on Main held in
May) has moved the month to September and the location to Blannahassett
Island and changed the name to Art on the Island Festival. Still FREE!
The new venue allows the festival to put musicians on the new stage and
to combine with the Farmer’s Market to offer many more opportunities to
enjoy the day. Come out to browse through arts booths, sample local food
and buy local produce while listening to musicians perform throughout
the day. For questions, contact the Madison County Arts Council at 828
649-1301.
