A “down on the farm,” family-friendly celebration of local art, music, and everything country will be held on Saturday, Sept. 17. The Kitson Arts Alliance’s inaugural Art & Music Festival will take place on the grounds of the Carlin Farm (above), a sustainable century family farm (est. 1903) located in the beautiful Endless Mountains at 3064 SR 3005 (Auburn Township) and home to 4 Seasons Farm Market, just north of Meshoppen.
Highlights will include: Art & Auction Tent (featuring local artists and a live auction by Shamrock Auction Services), The Music Barn (offering a full schedule of local musicians), Food Court (including the sensational Triple S Gourmet and Traver Family Chicken BBQ), The Kids Zone (fun & games for kids of all ages), A Variety of Vendors (Art & Artists; Handcrafted Items; Specialty Foods; and More),
Free Admission with a $5 Parking Fee (per vehicle, in exchange for five raffle tickets). No Pets Allowed Festival Held Rain or Shine. No Alcoholic Beverages. No Outside Food or Beverages Allowed.
