Arts Alive is May 17th

Downtown Quakertown businesses!!

Quakertown Alive's ninth annual Arts Alive Fine Arts and Crafts Festival is on May 17th in downtown Quakertown. Are you ready to talk business with the thousands of people that will be walking along Broad Street from Fourth Street to Hellertown Avenue? (Rain location is Strayer Middle School.)

Plan on a sidewalk sale or hosting a booth, if not right on Broad Street. Join in the theme of the day and keep your displays or booth art-related. Have activities for the kids or host an expert to give a brief presentation on the art of what you do. If not near the stage at 3rd and W. Broad, hire a musician to add some extra energy to your location.

West-bound traffic will remain open for the duration of the festival this year. East-bound traffic will be diverted around the 300 and 200 blocks of W. Broad Street to ensure participant's safety.
