Saturday, June 4th, 11am-7pm at the Long Reach Village Center

ARTreach is a free, one-day, family festival designed to promote the arts, celebrate Long Reach Village Center, and engage the community. In 2015 and 2016, the Howard County Arts Council produced the ARTreach Festival in collaboration with Howard County, MD and our partners, the Columbia Art Center, Columbia Association, and Long Reach Community Association. We are thrilled to bring the festival back to Long Reach this year on Saturday, June 4, 2022, from 11am to 7pm.

ARTreach 2022 will feature live music and performances by local and regional artists, children’s performers, and hands-on activities such as ceramics, print-making, tie dye, and piñata making. The festival will include an interactive photo booth, caricaturists, face painters, strolling magicians, and stilt walkers. Admission and all activities will be free!
