Dear    

In Northeastern Pennsylvania, the annual Fine Arts Fiesta is the premier celebration of the arts. As the oldest all inclusive arts festival in Pennsylvania, now in its 69th year, the Fine Arts Fiesta is committed to presenting tasteful, creative, and diverse representations of the Visual and Performing arts. Please join us for another exciting Fiesta on Public Square in beautiful downtown Wilkes-Barre from May 15th to May 18th, 2025. This year’s creative theme is, “Listen to Your Art”.

Each year we strive to bring new and exciting performances and programs for all of our guests. This year, we will offer “A Walk in Art History”.  This will be a new, fun, and educational activity for everyone’s participation.The Adult and Student Juried Art Show is always a highlight, along with the many school and community performances. Musical performances cross many genres, from jazz, rock, country, reggae and soul. There is something for everyone to enjoy at the Fine Arts Fiesta!

Last year approximately 25,000 guests enjoyed Fiesta, 473 pieces of art were entered in the Juried Arts Shows, approximately 500 children participated in children’s programming, and approximately 400 students/children performed on the main stage.  More than 250 individuals volunteer every year! Your donations, volunteerism, and ongoing support of Fiesta is what makes Fiesta a beloved tradition in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  Donors and volunteers like you are what makes the Fine Arts Fiesta a most anticipated event each spring.

Thank you for your consideration of supporting the Fine Arts Fiesta. Support of many individuals is what has allowed the Fine Arts Fiesta to continue for 69 years.  We can’t wait to see everyone at the Fiesta in May 2025.

Sincerely,

Ann Saxton, President
