The North Country Arts Festival brings the North Country community together to celebrate the arts. This county-wide festival encourages tourism and economic activity throughout St. Lawrence County by showcasing our arts industry, a critical component of our regional identity. To best serve the entire North Country community, we look forward to growing and improving the festival for 2024 through decentralization, new program development, the inclusion of a fundraising event, and an expansion on children’s programming.

The festival will continue to feature historically significant programs, such as Porchfest and the Ives Park Concert Series, while integrating new or expanding on old programs, including the Art Market, Arts Wellness Day, Poetry SLAM, Plein Air Festival, Family Plein Air Painting, and Arts After Dark.
