Nestled in the beautiful High Point City Lake Park, the festival is presented by the High Point Area Arts Council in cooperation with the High Point Parks & Recreation Department. The festival will be held from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. and the park is located at 602 W. Main Street in Jamestown. Admission is free!

Children’s Adventure Island will feature cultural-themed make-and-take art project. Also, be sure to visit the Day in the Park Art Gallery with poster artwork entries from elementary students displayed.

All-day ride tickets, which include the train, carousel, miniature golf, inflatables and the rock-climbing wall are just $6.00! This is an unbelievable deal for families!

Visual artists and crafters will be on hand in Marketplace Bazaar to display and sell their original pieces, including pottery, jewelry, photography, note cards, honey products, wooden and sewn crafts, plus many more. This will be a great opportunity to not only stock up on holiday gifts, but also to support our local artists! To print the application for an artist/crafter booth, click here.

The Folk Life area brings history to life with a Civil War field medical hospital, plus many demonstrations by craftsmen in the arts of spinning, pottery, basket weaving, woodturning, blacksmithing, and chainsaw sculpting among others. And, as always, the inviting smell of funnel cakes, roasted corn, polish sausages, pizza, kettle popcorn and burgers will fill the air throughout the day.
