Festival 2026 is a wrap - and what a record-breaking Festival it was!

Many thanks to all our generous sponsors, especially to the South Shore Music Circus and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. We would also like to extend our thanks to the artists, craft exhibitors, musicians, performers, volunteers and our incredible staff. Shout out to Stellwagen Beer Company and our food vendors for keeping our guests hydrated and happy.

We begin planning today for next year so we can deliver another magnificent Festival! See you June 18-20, 2027 on Cohasset Common!

Celebrate the arts over Father’s Day Weekend. South Shore Art Center presents its 71st Annual Arts Festival on Cohasset Common. Contemporary creativity meets New England tradition with 80 craft artists, a marquee tent filled with fine art, food, live music, tons of maker activities and face painting at the kid’s tent. Don’t miss the Stellwagon Beer Tent located near the sound stage featuring crowd-pleasers like the Pitfalls and Traveller: The Chris Stapleton Experience. Lobster rolls and homemade strawberry shortcakes sold by church groups are all part of the tradition … as is free golf cart shuttles for visitors from satellite parking to the Common. There’s a $5.00 suggested donation at the entrance.
