Brockport Arts Festival - August 10 & 11, 2013

The 19th Annual Brockport Arts Festival

 

Main Street, Brockport
August 10- 11, 2013 

The all-volunteer festival celebrates this homecoming with many new artists and entertainers.Along with the talented artists you’ll fine a community favorite--the Duck Derby. Race starts at the Main Street canal lift bridge allowing a great view as thousands of plastic ducks ‘dive’ into the canal and drift (or get nudged!) to the finish line. There are prizes for both the first five to cross the finish line, as well as the last five. The lawn of the historic Morgan Manning house lawn will feature great family entertainment, and elsewhere at the festival you’ll find a kids fitness walk, sculpture made from donated cans of food, street dancers and other activities.

Patrons will enjoy 100+ exhibitors, live entertainment, a Wine Garden under the big tent, a Vintage Car Cruise-In, Farmer’s Market and loads of great food! As always, admission is free.
