Art, music, and culinary delights take center stage at the comeback of the Ucross Arts Festival in the afternoon hours.
The Ucross Arts Festival is set to return on Sunday, August 17, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m. at The Park at Ucross. This free, family-friendly event promises a delightful afternoon of art, performance, and community connection[1][2].
Highlights of the festival include live performances headlined by the talented guitarist Hayden Pedigo[1][3]. For poetry enthusiasts, Ucross Fellows M.L. Smoker and David Romtvedt will be participating in poetry readings[1][6].
The festival will also offer a printmaking workshop, led by Ucross artists and staff[1][7]. Guests are encouraged to bring a white T-shirt for the workshop, and paper and additional T-shirts will be available for purchase at the Ucross Gift Shop[1][8].
Food will be available from the pop-up Ucross Café food truck, which made a successful debut during Ucross Founder's Day in May[1][5]. The food truck will return, offering wood-fired pizzas, appetizers, and desserts prepared by Ucross Chef Jackie Vitale[1][9]. Picnic blankets or lawn chairs are recommended for guests to enjoy the event comfortably[1][10].
Parking is limited, so carpooling is recommended for the event at The Park at Ucross[1][11]. For more information and to secure free tickets, visit the provided link for event updates[1][12].

Amidst the art and performances, attendees can also indulge in a variety of food-and-drink options from the Ucross Café food truck, offering wood-fired pizzas, appetizers, and desserts. After the festivities, guests may return home-and-garden inspired, perhaps incorporating new ideas into their lifestyle.
