October 10 & 11, 2009

Artists’ booths line Styron Square each year, during the 2nd weekend of October to showcase a full spectrum of original works by nationally recognized artists. Set against a canvas of festivity with live music, family art activities, and gourmet food vendors, the Port Warwick Art & Sculpture Festival is destined to become the most talked about fine art and sculpture show in the Mid-Atlantic Region.

The Port Warwick Merchant Association is a vibrant group of retailers and business owners who strive to bring creativity and excitement to quarterly events they plan on the square. Please check back often for some great shopping events brought to you by the Port Warwick Merchants Association.
