Three Rivers Arts Festival (during May 31 - June 9)

The 65th annual Three Rivers Arts Festival takes place during May 31 - June 9 featuring hundreds of visual artists, musicians, live theatre, dance performances, film, etc. over a ten-day period at numerous locations throughout the Cultural District. With over 95 hours of programming and a variety of activities for people of all ages, there is something for everyone to enjoy!

Meetup Considerations While this is a general posting for the entire 10-day festival, we'll also organize some specific Meetup events to check out artist booths, galleries, and public art as well as free concerts, live theatre, dance, film, and other performances.

Because people have different schedules, they will naturally be arriving and leaving at different times throughout the festival. It is not realistic to post comments asking where other people in the group are and expecting a timely response. Many people are there to enjoy the festival without feeling the need to constantly check their cell phones.

Please be mindful that most people are simply happy enough to say hi to whoever they already know -- and happen to run into -- as they walk around the festival.

Please be mindful that whenever gathering times/locations are provided for Meetup events, there is always a tradeoff as to how long people that show up 'on time' should be expected to 'wait around' for others that may or may not show up at a given time.

Please note that at any given time during the festival, there could be anywhere from 0-30+ people from Meetup enjoying the festivities although they'll be dispersed among thousands of people. Thus, you'll run into more Meetup members by walking around.

Of course, as always, it is also fine if you prefer to attend the festival on your own with family/friends.

Weather While many joke about the association of rain with the Three Rivers Arts Festival, please note that in any 10-day period throughout the year, odds are that at least a few days will have some precipitation. But in case of bad weather, we'll let people know if any outdoor festival concerts may be cancelled. In any case, the Three Rivers Arts Festival includes numerous indoor activities such as art galleries, live theatre, movies, etc.

Stay tuned for updates!
