A Celebration of Art, Tunes, and Cuisine as Ucross Arts Festival Makes a Comeback
The Ucross Arts Festival returns on Sunday, August 17, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at The Park at Ucross. This free, family-friendly event promises a delightful blend of entertainment, education, and community spirit[1][2][3].
The festival aims to entertain and enlighten attendees, offering a diverse range of activities spanning various art disciplines and performances. Live music performances, poetry readings, and a printmaking workshop are all part of the programme, creating an artistic and culturally rich atmosphere[1][2][3][4].
Live music will be provided by the talented guitarist Hayden Pedigo, while poetry readings will be delivered by Ucross Fellows M.L. Smoker and David Romtvedt. For those interested in hands-on artistic experiences, a printmaking workshop will be led by Ucross artists and staff[1][5][6].
To add to the festive ambiance, the Ucross Cafe food truck will make a return appearance. The food truck, which made a successful debut during Ucross Founder's Day in May, will offer wood-fired pizzas, appetizers, and desserts. Ucross Chef Jackie Vitale will prepare the delicious food[2][3].
Guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets or lawn chairs for seating during the event. Parking is limited at The Park at Ucross, so carpooling is recommended. For those who wish to participate in the printmaking workshop, it is suggested to bring a white T-shirt. Alternatively, additional T-shirts can be purchased at the Ucross Gift Shop[7].
