About the NoCo Arts Fest

The North Country Arts Festival brings the North Country community together to celebrate the arts. This month-long, county-wide event encourages tourism and economic activity throughout St. Lawrence County by showcasing our arts industry, a critical component of our regional identity. Popular events, such as Artists’ Studio Tour, PorchFest, Remington Arts Festival, plus a new arts market during the Ives Park Concert Series will be held within the time-frame of the NoCo Arts Fest, as well as lots of events held by our partners and friends across the county!

Arts Partners! We want to share your work with our region.

Arts partners, creatives, educators, etc. – please share your events in September and October that you would like us to include in the program. Any arts-related events are welcome. We reserve the right to omit events we do not find applicable.
