ABOUT ARTSFEST '25
Established in 1993, Artsfest is an annual juried arts festival held at Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center located in Solomons, Maryland - about an hour from the Baltimore-Washington metro area. Recognized as one of the top outdoor arts festivals in the Mid-Atlantic region, Artsfest brings together some of the country’s most accomplished artists for a weekend of outstanding shopping, exceptional entertainment, and delicious food and drinks. Artsfest features more than 40 bands and entertainment acts performing on four stages, as well as family activities and programs under the Discovery Tent and in the Zany Zone. The beauty of Annmarie Garden is the perfect backdrop for this annual celebration of the arts! We hope you will make Artsfest a must-do on your list of shows!

33rd Annual Artsfest! Annmarie Garden was named for Ann Marie Koenig, wife of Francis Koenig, who donated the property to the citizens of Calvert County. Although Ann Marie and Francis are no longer living, we are honored to hold Artsfest every year on Ann Marie’s birthday! In 2025, we will celebrate the 33rd annual Artsfest and Ann Marie’s 118th birthday! As a tribute to our patroness, we honor one of the original goals of Artsfest – to share the creative process with visitors. Artsfest artists are encouraged (but not required) to demonstrate during Artsfest. For all those who are able, please consider what part of your creative process you can demonstrate during the festival. Happy Birthday Ann Marie and Happy Anniversary Artsfest – 33 years celebrating artists and the arts!
