Celebrate PAFA’s 220th Birthday at the 2026 Family Art Festival! Bring the whole family for an afternoon of art-making, music, and fun as we honor over two centuries of creativity and community. Explore the world of art, enjoy hands-on activities, and make lasting memories together. Come for the celebration—stay for the art!
In honor of America’s 250th birthday and PAFA’s 220th anniversary, this free festival transforms Lenfest Plaza into a dynamic hub of hands-on artmaking, live performances, and cultural experiences for all ages. Create your own artwork, enjoy live music and dance from local performers, explore the museum for free, and take part in a collaborative community art project that brings everyone together.
Whether you’re making art, moving to music, or discovering something new, this is a day to celebrate the power of creativity across generations.
