The charming town of Linden is pleased to invite artists and makers to the 14th annual Blooming Arts Festival, March 25-26, 2022.

The Blooming Arts Festival is Linden’s annual signature event and one of the region’s leading outdoor festivals. More than 150 artists registered in 2021. Festival attendance (pre-pandemic) reached in-excess of 10,000. The robust turnout ensures vendor success, while offering something for everyone both in selection and in price.

“We anticipate our 2022 festival to be the best yet,” said Hayley Byrd, executive director, Blooming Arts Festival. “Artists and festival goers, along with the people of Linden, are ready to resume some normalcy, and that includes special events, outdoor festivals and small-town fun.”

Linden’s downtown Main Street features wide sidewalks, retro lampposts, restored architecture, and beautifully landscaped trees; the perfect backdrop for showcasing creative arts and crafts. Past exhibitions have included fine art - oil paintings, watercolors, acrylics, clay sculptures and photography. Fine hand-crafted artisans bring stained glass, leatherwork, jewelry, glass, furniture, fiber, quilting and numerous other displays of creativity.

Kicking off the festival season in Tennessee, the staff of Blooming Arts 2022 looks forward to a great event. In addition to arts & crafts exhibitors, a full schedule of live music is planned for both days plus the always-popular Kids Zone, complete with rides and many fun activities. Blooming Arts Festival is free and open to the public.

This special two-day event is a perfect time for tourists to journey to Linden to witness the striking beauty of the revitalized downtown and visit with local merchants. Proudly, Linden is home to many arts-based businesses owned by and supporting local artisans.
