The festival features a curated, open-air market from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm on Saturday, September 9 - Sunday, September 10 that attracts over 12,000 attendees and features a live performance of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra. All applications will be reviewed by the Pawtucket Arts Festival Arts Vendor Selection Committee to ensure that all art vendor's work is a unique, one-of-a-kind, handmade art object and that a balance of many art forms are represented throughout the marketplace.
