The Carroll County Arts Council has partnered with the City of Westminster for more than two decades to present this annual cultural festival. The event is rich in tradition and attracts a large audience. We encourage established artists as well as groups, clubs and emerging artists to participate. The day will include a children’s craft tent, an artist demonstration tent, live music on stage and a food court featuring favorite flavors from local restaurants.
The Registration deadline is May 16, 2015. If late registrations are accepted they will be subject to a $20 late fee.
