The Constitution Square Festival is making its much-anticipated return to the historic Constitution Square Historic Site in Danville, on September 14th from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
This beloved event offers a day of art, music, local produce, and small-town charm in the very birthplace of Kentucky.
As you stroll through the park, you’ll be greeted by the vibrant colors and sounds of artists and musicians showcasing their talents. Whether you’re an art enthusiast looking for that perfect piece to complete your collection or simply someone who appreciates the creativity and craftsmanship of local artisans, the festival is a treasure trove of unique finds.
Artisan demonstrators will be on hand, sharing their skills and knowledge, allowing you to see firsthand the dedication and passion that goes into their work. From hand-thrown pottery to intricate woodwork, the festival provides a rare opportunity to witness the creation process and perhaps even take home a piece of Kentucky heritage.
But it’s not just the arts that make the Constitution Square Festival special. The event also celebrates the region’s agricultural roots, with fresh farm produce and products available for purchase. Imagine filling your basket with locally grown fruits and vegetables, or perhaps some homemade preserves, honey, or baked goods from the area’s talented bakers. It’s a true farm-to-table experience, right in the heart of Danville.
Food vendors will be serving up a variety of delicious options, ensuring that no one goes hungry as they explore the festival. Whether you’re in the mood for classic festival fare or something with a local twist, you’ll find plenty to satisfy your cravings.
And, of course, the Constitution Square Festival is about community. It’s a place where old friends reconnect and new friendships are forged, all in the welcoming atmosphere of a small-town gathering. Community organizations will be on hand, sharing information about their work and how you can get involved in making Danville an even better place to live.
Enjoy chatting with those old friends (and new) while listening to live music throughout the day, with musicians and bands performing on stage from the time the festival starts until it ends.
This year’s festival is free and open to everyone, making it the perfect opportunity for families to spend a day together, enjoying all that small-town life has to offer.
