With their roots dating back to 1968 the Colden Art Festival is one of the oldest art festivals in Western New York. Back in the day, more than 10,000 people would come out for the festival. It was before festivals became kind of the going thing to do. 

​

The festival features a juried  art show where artists showcase and sell their works. Also included is a vendor area where crafters and local businesses display and sell their goods. As an added bonus, acoustic music is featured all day in the vendor area.
