The 10th Annual NEON Festival

This free, two-night celebration marks a decade of creativity in the city’s official arts district, uniting artists, performers, and the community for an unforgettable showcase of art, music, and light. Explore public art tours, pop-up galleries, glassblowing demos, and interactive installations from both local and national talent.

On Thursday, the festival centers on the west side of the district near the Chrysler Museum of Art and Glass Studio, featuring Glass After Dark, live glassmaking, food trucks, vendor booths, and curated art experiences.

Friday shifts east to The Plot, Granby Street, and surrounding venues with main stage entertainment, a beer garden and local food vendors, improv comedy, DJ sets, chalk art, and live painting. Streets will be closed to create a vibrant, walkable celebration of the NEON District’s past, present, and future.
