Arts in the Park is a one-day arts festival sponsored by Friends of High School Park, and held at High School Park in the heart of Elkins Park, PA each June. This year Arts in the Park is taking place on Sunday, June 7th from 10am to 5pm — and this marks our 25th annual festival! Arts in the Park was created in 1995 to bring together many of our local talented artists and musicians for a fun, creative day to help raise funds for Friends of High School Park. Please come spend the day with us in our beautiful protected space while enjoying the talents of our gifted and accomplished community artisans. Each year we jury dozens of artists and craftspeople to display and sell their work at the festival, and each festival draws about two thousand visitors from Elkins Park, Cheltenham, and neighboring communities.
