RADfest 2025

Join us November 8 + 9 from 10am-5pm in Asheville’s River Arts District for two days of creativity and connection. Enjoy live music and DJs, art demos, open studios and galleries, local food trucks, and family-friendly fun throughout the district.

Our first RADFest was the first event we had after Hurricane Helene devastated so much of the River Arts District. At the time we just had a few re-opened spaces, and tons of artists set up selling their art from pop-up tents. We were absolutely blown away with how many people came to show their support and buy art. You guys really showed how pivotal art is to the identity and culture of Asheville, and we were so grateful.

NOW we have over 500 artists in the many re-opened buildings of RAD, and we’ll have the outdoor art market of over 100 still displaced artists. It’s time to show up for us again, and what a beautiful excuse to fill your home with unique, amazing local art.

Free admission – everyone welcome!
