The Fort Clifton Arts and Crafts Festival Committee is pleased to announce that our 47th annual festival will be held May 13-14, 2023. The city’s largest attended event attracts 6,000 to 7,000 visitors annually and includes 100+ artists and crafters, local food vendors, and children’s play area. The festival is not only enjoyed by Colonial Heights residents, but by citizens from surrounding communities. 

Each year our committee strives to improve the festival and contribute to needed park improvements. In recent years, we have enhanced increased our Artist & Crafter Awards, and made a significant contribution for the purchase of the new sound system at Fort Clifton Park.

Our current focus is the continued enhancement of the festival and to assist with much needed upgrades to the park restrooms. With your financial assistance we will be able to make this a reality. Along with our traditional Awards Program; “Best in Show”, “Fort Clifton First”, and multiple “Awards of Excellence” and “Judge’s Choice Awards”, we now offer several sponsorship levels that not only enhance the City’s largest attended event, but also provides increased marketing opportunities for your business or organization.

Please consider supporting this longstanding community event by becoming one of our event sponsors or by participating in our Artist Awards Program.
