30th Annual Celebration

Franconia Sculpture Park celebrates its 30th birthday with the 30th Annual Art & Artists Celebration. This milestone event features a variety of activities for all ages, including bouncy houses, mural making, a scavenger hunt, party hats, and a photo booth. Visitors are invited to meet the 2026 Artists-in-Residence and explore the park's newest sculpture additions, including newly installed and in-progress works.

Bibs Printing, a woodblock printing company based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, will be on-site for live printing of custom "Franconia" t-shirts and posters using traditional woodcut techniques. Food and treats will be available for purchase from Frios Pops and Mexillama Kitchen.

Join the Franconia staff to create special party hats and learn about the park's vision for the next 30 years while celebrating the vibrant community of artists that make the park possible.
