Plan Your Visit
Join us for a celebration of art & music on the North Common in Historic Chelsea Village, VT.
Chelsea has a long history of hosting community events on the town green. The Chelsea Arts Collective continues the local tradition with the Arts on the Green Market & Festival.
You will find over 40+ artists and artisans from around New England selling and displaying their finely-crafted work. Browse the market. Stop by the Art Auction tent and bid on a piece that speaks to you. Make your mark in the art-making tent. Enjoy the musical acts performing throughout the day.
A variety of food vendor options will be available, from sweet treats and coffee to a full lunch. Bring a picnic blanket and the family and make a day of it. This is a free, outdoor event for all ages!
Arts on the Green takes place the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, rain or shine.
PARKING: Please be aware of parking signage. We do block off areas along the common for safety reasons and vendor access. We ask that you be mindful of these designated areas. There should be plenty of parking in town on the street.
Make it a Weekend!
