WHAT IS ARTS ALIVE! HOME & GARDEN FESTIVAL?

Since 1997, the Arts Alive! Home & Garden Festival has been a favorite regional destination for fresh ideas, local connections, and creative inspiration. Now in its 30th year, the Festival brings together a lively marketplace of businesses and organizations from North Central Texas and beyond.

Guests can explore home and garden products and services, meet knowledgeable industry experts, shop from local farmers market vendors and artists, and enjoy unique displays designed to inspire. Whether you’re planning a renovation, refreshing your garden, or simply looking for ideas, there’s something for everyone.

This event is powered by the dedication of committee members, volunteers, nonprofit partners, and local entrepreneurs—and it serves an even bigger purpose. As the largest fundraiser for the Arts Council WF, Arts Alive! Home & Garden Festival helps make it possible to provide arts education, visual art exhibitions, and diverse cultural programming throughout our community.

Our Vendors
