(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Princeton Makes presents the Art in the Courtyard - Fall Festival on Sunday, October 1, 2023 in the Princeton Shopping Center courtyard.  The festival is a celebration of creativity and community and will showcase the local artistic and musical talent of Princeton and neighboring areas.

Over the past two years, Princeton Makes has hosted a variety of community-building events within the cooperative, and its members have been active participants in various local festivals. Now Princeton Makes is hosting its own Fall Festival in collaboration with the Princeton Shopping Center.

Art in the Courtyard is designed to give local artists and artisans the opportunity to spotlight their artwork.  And the festival goes beyond artistic displays; it is a celebration of the entire Princeton and neighboring communities. Princeton Makes is focused on community building and collaboration, and welcomes everyone to participate in a day filled with art, music, and connections!
