Nearly 200 artists and crafters will display works in a variety of mediums Sept. 10-11 at the Brandywine Festival of the Arts, in the Josephine Gardens of Wilmington’s Brandywine Park.
The festival, in its 55th year, features live music, children’s activities and a wide selection of local food vendors.
“Whether you’re looking for artwork to brighten your home or to get an early start on holiday shopping, visitors will be pleased with the dozens of choices that await them,” says Barry Schlecker of Barry’s Events, the festival’s producer.
The festival got under way in 1961 as the Brandywine Arts Festival, a street fair in downtown Wilmington, has become an end of summer celebration, now held the weekend after Labor Day in Brandywine Park in Wilmington. It was renamed the Brandywine Festival of the Arts in 2010, when Barry’s Events, took over its operation.
