Children's Summer Arts Festival

Make and play all day at the Hoyt's annual Children's Summer Arts Festival! This free family event embraces creativity, curiosity, and interactive exploration.

Each summer, the Hoyt Center transforms its lawn into an outdoor festival filled with interactive art activities, live entertainment, games, and creative experiences for children of all ages. Families can enjoy a full afternoon of make-and-take art projects, performances, special guests, and engaging activities designed to spark imagination and encourage experimentation.

From creating artwork and participating in hands-on challenges to enjoying music, storytelling, and outdoor fun, every corner of the festival offers something new to discover. Food and beverages will be available for purchase, and museum membership specials provide even more ways to continue the creative adventure throughout the year.

Whether you're a frequent flyer or attending for the first time, the Children's Summer Arts Festival is the perfect way to celebrate summer, make memories, and experience all the Hoyt has to offer.
