The Arts in Orono
The Orono Arts Fest will build on the solid foundation created by the 13-year run of Artsapalooza— Orono’s original arts festival.
The Orono Arts Fest will endeavor to deliver many of the most-loved events from Artsapalooza, including performances at local restaurants, kid’s activities, and a wide array of popular local artists. OAF will also aim to bring in new artists and performances types from around the state, including a mix of free events and ticketed signature performances.
The timeline for producing the 2024 festival is tight, but there are big dreams for the future! If you’d like to be part of the fun, be sure to reach out!
