UPDATE: The 2025 event has been CANCELLED

If you have driven past the University Campus on Highway 213 or driven down College Street, you know that the campus – specifically the upper quad – is under construction and from what we have been told, will continue to be for quite a while.


But, we have a new home for this year and we think that it will work out well. The Madison Heritage Arts Festival will be located on the soccer fields just below Mars Hill Elementary School. We will still have shuttles to drop off festival goers, and there is plenty of parking just above the festival for you, our vendors, to park. Good news . . it is flat! We will market the festival via festival.net , the Town of Mars Hill and in local newspapers to let everyone know where and when it will take place.

If you register by August 30, we will honor your past booth number for this year so that you will have the same spot when we return to College Street.
