Bethesda Row Arts Festival returns this September

Touted as the D.C. Metro area's most attended art fair for almost 30 years, the Bethesda Row Arts Festival returns to the city this September.

More than 30,000 art enthusiasts from the area are expected to attend and enjoy the competition. Organizers can advertise events like this in a variety of ways, including using printing services to create Posters and Postcards.

The arts festival sees artists in a wide range of categories. In addition to traditional mediums like ceramics, drawing, and glass, there are also categories for digital art, wearable fibers, metal, mixed media, and several others. Hopeful artists can submit in multiple categories, but may only exhibit and sell in their category of acceptance if invited to the show. Artists will be asked to remove any non-compliant works.

Some of this year's participants include Alexander Arcella, who creates geometric kinetic art on wood panels, and Laodesign, who uses unique textiles handmade from silk and cotton. A full list of this year's artists, including where to find their booths, is available on the festival's website.

The Bethesda Row Arts Festival takes place from September 12-13, 2026. It is in the heart of the city, near the intersection of Elm Street and Woodmont Avenue. Doors open at 10:00 am on both days, closing at 6:00 pm on Saturday and 5:00 pm on Sunday.
