SUMMARY:Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. announces Local Love Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:For many years\, Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. (DPI) has worked to create opportunities for local artists through programs such as Artscape\, First Fridays Artswalk\, the Let It Shine! Public Art Partnership\, and the Emerging Artists Program. This fall\, DPI is excited to take that commitment a step further by launching a brand-new event dedicated entirely to celebrating the incredible artistic talent that calls Berkshire County home. \nThe inaugural Local Love Arts Festival will take place on Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at The Common in Downtown Pittsfield. It is envisioned as a day where local artists take center stage — showcasing their work\, connecting with new audiences\, and reminding our community that some of the region’s most talented creators are right here in our own backyard. The goal is for this to become a signature Downtown event that artists\, organizations\, and residents look forward to year after year. \nThe event will celebrate the incredible talent of Berkshire County’s artists while creating a vibrant Downtown experience filled with art\, music\, food\, family activities\, and community. Visitors will enjoy artist vendor booths\, live entertainment\, food and beverages\, a children’s activity area\, sidewalk chalk art\, and interactive arts experiences throughout the day. \nA portion of the proceeds from the festival will support Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc.’s ongoing work to promote local businesses\, public art\, placemaking\, and community events throughout Downtown Pittsfield. \nDowntown Pittsfield\, Inc. is now accepting applications for Berkshire County based artisanal vendors to showcase their wares at the Local Love Arts Festival on Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, 10 am to 3 pm\, at The Common on First Street. \nOnly those who make their own handmade products will be accepted. DPI is looking for visual artists\, craftspeople\, textile artists\, jewelry makers\, and those who make quality packaged foods and sweets. All vendors will go through an approval process\, and the organizers of the Local Love Arts Festival reserve the right to reject any vendor who is not a fit for this market. Spaces are limited. The booth fee is $75\, and vendors are responsible for their own tables\, tents\, and set-up. No resale products will be accepted. Link to apply to be a vendor: https://forms.gle/3c9u8oymsafznnfDA
