Arts in the Middle’s Spring Fine Arts Festival is returning once more to Hewick Plantation, just outside Urbanna, on Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8.

The popular outdoor festival features juried artists from across the country, galleries for local and emerging artists, and a fun-filled space for children. Two stages offer an array of outstanding musicians including musical headliner, the Bobby Blackhat Band. Visitors can enjoy breakfast and lunch with offerings from Old City BBQ and Seasalt LLC, as well as wine, beer, champagne, and other drinks from the beverage tent.

Arts in the Middle runs Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Visitors will find signage along area roads directing them to the parking area, where they will be assisted by members of the Middlesex County Kiwanis Club. Admission to the festival, along with parking, is free.
