The annual Harvest of the Arts Festival is held each September in historic downtown Carlisle. More than 100 juried artists exhibit works in all mediums, including pottery, photography, paintings, wood, glass, jewelry, and metal. 

Plan to experience art, live music, and various food options as you explore downtown Carlisle's many shops. In addition to the artisans, festival highlights include:

  • Live music throughout downtown by local and regional artists.
  • Kids' Alley provides non-stop fun for the little ones.
  • The Meeting of the Marques Motorshow transforms West High Street into "Artistry on Wheels" with a collection of sports cars, sports touring cars, and all British-made cars that allow guests to experience the beauty of these vehicles as rolling sculptures rather than just transportation.

While you’re visiting Harvest of the Arts, you can kick off fall with a fun weekend full of festivals featuring:
