2018 Corn Hill Arts Festival, July 14th & 15th
The Corn Hill Arts Festival presented by ESL Federal Credit Union is celebrating its 50th year on July 14th & 15th, 2018. This vibrant community event is organized and run by the Corn Hill Neighbors Association and over 200 volunteers. Created in 1969 by a handful of artists who lived in the neighborhood, the Festival had a humble beginning on Greenwood Street. In July, we will be turning back the clock to remember and celebrate the early beginnings!
In celebration of this milestone, the Neighbors Association has unveiled a new Festival logo, that artfully highlights the iconic Lunsford Circle gazebo and a new message to visitors, “Come for the art. Stay for it all”, which speaks to the range of experiences that the festival now offers.
1969 was an unmistakably lively and fascinating year. A parade is planned to course through the Festival itself beginning at 11 am on Saturday morning. We plan to honor and celebrate many of the year’s historic milestones, in addition to the inception of our Festival. We will be featuring floats of the historic Moon landing, Woodstock Music Festival, The Beatles Abbey Road Album and more! Expect a lively dance and music event, with cool opportunities to engage and get that perfect “selfie”!
