Applications are now open for the 2024 Brockport Arts Festival

The organizers of the Brockport Arts Festival are proud to announce that the application is open for artists, crafters, and food vendors for the 2024 Brockport Arts Festival. The festival committee wishes to thank the community for an overwhelmingly successful 2023 event. The festival features two full days of arts, crafts, food trucks, and music. The Village of Brockport and Brockport Integrated Service Club Organization (BISCO) are already working hard on the 2024 event to be held August 10 and 11.

Thank you to 2023 Festival Sponsor, Canandaigua National Bank, for sponsoring entertainment on both the Morgan Manning House Stage and Canal Side Stage. Additional thanks to Gold Sponsor, Spurr Brockport Chevrolet GMC, for sponsoring the shuttle service, games area, and charging station. Additional thanks to the following sponsors and partners for their generous donations and contributions: Nortera, Assured Partners/Bond Benefits, Long Construction NY, Leafguard, Renewal by Anderson, Western New York Concrete, Agape Physical Therapy, Patricia Baker, Westside News, Casella, Runnings, Mark’s Pizzeria of Brockport, Rochester Museum & Science Center, Morgan Manning House, JLU Child Care, Brockport Clarkson Learning Center, Brockport Central Schools, Our Village Optician, Sweden Plaza, Boy Scout Troop 111 and Cub Scout Pack 86, Girl Scouts of Western New York LakeRidge Service Unit, Brockport Band Boosters, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Christ Community Church, and a special thanks to the many volunteers who helped set-up, run, and take down the festival. In addition to being a wonderful event, the festival helped generate over $20,000 for local non-profit organizations. Revenue from the 2023 event is being used for “Bridging Brockport” events during the Main Street bridge closure. Revenue generated by the 2024 event will be dedicated to updating village parks and playgrounds.

Looking ahead to 2024 festival, for the third year in a row, BAF will feature an after-hours concert at the Canal Side Stage. This year’s line up features Black Robin Band and North 43 rocking Main Street from 4 until 10 p.m.

New this year, the festival is inviting area art students to display and sell their work in Student Alley. Interested students, teachers, and art clubs, should reach out to a BAF committee member for more information.

BAF is currently in the process of recruiting artisans and food vendors for the 2024 festival, as well as securing sponsorships and entertainment. More information can be found at https://brockportny.org/brockport-arts-festival/.
