The 2025 TroyFest Fine Art & Craft Festival has accepted more than 100 vendors for the festival this year in downtown Troy to be held on April 26 and 27. Artists selling pottery, photography, painting, glasswork, jewelry and more are prepared to welcome festival attendees.
“Each year, TroyFest draws some of the best artists in the southeast to our community where we have the opportunity to support them by purchasing their works.” said Morgan Drinkard, publicity chair. “The selection of paintings, decorative craft pieces, jewelry, and glasswork are always a treat.
Many towns have a city fest, but this isn’t just an opportunity to come together, TroyFest has deep roots in celebrating incredible artists from all over the southeast through the selling of their artwork. The entertainment and food are a bonus, but the art and the artists are the main attraction.”
The festival is free to the public to attend and will feature a full entertainment schedule and food vendors in addition to the downtown restaurants. The Johnson Center for the Arts will be open during the weekend offering a variety of activities and access to their current exhibitions.
The festival accepts artists through a jury process and allows them to enter in 8 categories. The artists are awarded more than $5,000 in cash awards from the on-site artist judges. Applications for TroyFest artists were due March 1 for this years festival.
TroyFest is held annually in honor of folk artist Jean Lake, and draws upward of 10,000 people to the downtown area over the two-day period. The festival is held rain or shine other than inclement weather and it makes any updates to festival times through its Facebook page.
