The 50th annual Roycroft Summer Festival returns! A WNY Arts & Crafts tradition, now marking 50 years of Roycrodft Renaissance in the heart of East Aurora: The 2026 Roycroft Summer Festival runs from 10 a.m until 5 p.m. on Saturday June 27 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday June 28 at the Classic Rink, located at 41 Riley Street in the Village of East Aurora. The Classic Rink is an open air roofed venue that provides protection from elements and ensures a comfortable experience for attendees that includes ample parking.
With the festival centrally located in the village, patrons can park once and take advantage of everything East Aurora has to offer, including Main Street shops and restaurants.
Artists looking to exhibit with the Roycroft Summer Festival may apply to jury through midnight on April 18, 2026 at ralaweb.com.
Visitors to the Festival will experience fine art in wood, metal, fabric, jewelry, clay, glass, book arts, prints, drawing, painting, and photography. The work is created by fine artists and craftspeople, many of whom have gone through a rigorous jurying process. Roycrofters at Large Artisans have earned the right to use the “double R” mark of the Roycroft Renaissance and represent the very strongest in quality workmanship and design.
In addition to rigorously Juried Roycroft Artisans and Masters, the Roycroft Summer Festival also includes a selective pool of non-juried artists and Roycroft Emerging Artists fellows, totaling nearly 60 booths and non-profit community partners.
The Emerging Artists program provides opportunities for rising local artists who exhibit a quality of work in keeping with the Roycroft standards in their chosen mediums and advances RALA’s express mission to serve as an organization to further the revitalization and evolution of the Arts & Crafts Movement, in both craft and fine art. Applications for the 2026 Emerging Artists can be found on our website through April 17, 2026.
This weekend also marks an unofficial festival of arts weekend for East Aurora; the Historic Roycroft Campus will host its Campus Arts & Antiques Show on South Grove Street and the East Aurora Art Society will host their annual show at the East Aurora Middle School.
