Monte Sano Art Festival

The Monte Sano Art Festival proudly celebrates its 28th year as one of the Southeast’s premier juried art festivals. Set atop scenic Monte Sano Mountain in Huntsville, Alabama, this highly anticipated event showcases more than 140 visual artists from across the country, selected for excellence in fine arts and originality.

Each year, more than 8,000 art enthusiasts make the drive up the mountain for a weekend immersed in fine art, live music, and local flavor. The festival blends the natural beauty of a wooded park setting with the energy of a vibrant and growing arts community, creating an inviting, relaxed atmosphere where attendees come prepared to engage with artists.

Huntsville—known as The Rocket City—is one of the fastest-growing cities in the South, fueled by a strong technology, aerospace, and engineering presence. This dynamic, educated community values creativity and supports the arts. Visitors spend the weekend exploring artist booths, enjoying food trucks, and listening to local busking musicians.

We would love to welcome you to Huntsville and to the Monte Sano Art Festival, where natural beauty, community spirit, and a strong art-buying audience come together for an exceptional weekend experience.
