(PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ) -- West Windsor Arts invites the community to lace up their sneakers and get ready for ArtWalk 2025, a popular annual family event and fundraiser happening on Sunday, June 1, 2025 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. This year features a new early evening start time, a festive carnival atmosphere, and more wellness-focused and hands-on activities than ever before.
“ArtWalk 2025 is all about celebrating community, creativity and wellness—in a way that’s accessible and fun for everyone,” notes Aylin Green, Executive Director of West Windsor Arts. Whether you’re taking an easy-paced stroll through the neighborhood, dancing to live music, or creating fun objects doing art projects, there’s an activity planned to accommodate every age and interest. “We’re keeping all the favorite traditions from past ArtWalks, but adding a fresh twist to welcome summer with new activities,” she notes.
The event begins at 4:00pm when participants can pick up a map and a goodie bag and then set off on a one-mile Family Fun Walk featuring a scavenger hunt. Along the way, they can collect tokens, which can later be redeemed for art projects, games, face painting and prizes back at the arts center.
The festive summer vibe continues with live music curated by Vasanti Anand, a popcorn machine, and a variety of fitness challenges led by local instructors including F3 and dancer Shivani Badgi. Those looking to relax and unwind can choose to enjoy meditation, massage therapy courtesy of Hand and Stone East Windsor, or henna designs from local artists.
“ArtWalk is a day for your mind, body and community spirit,” adds Green. “We want families to make the day their own—try something new, express themselves creatively, or just enjoy time together.”
Activity stations include painting Kindness Rocks, decorating sneaker keychains, and contributing to a collaborative graffiti mural with artist Mikel Cirkus. What’s more, medical students from Robert Wood Johnson will be offering free blood pressure screenings and education, encouraging health awareness as part of the event’s wellness theme.
The Silent Auction—featuring exclusive offerings from local restaurants, shops and service providers—is another highlight, offering attendees a chance to score great finds while supporting a worthy cause. Plus, several community sponsors will be on-site with activities and information to share.
Admission is $25 per family or $10 per individual, and all proceeds support West Windsor Arts, helping the nonprofit continue to offer concerts, community days, art camps and artist resources throughout the year.
ArtWalk 2025 is made possible thanks to our generous supporters. A special thank-you to our Presenting Sponsor, Princeton Federal Credit Union, and additional sponsors including Mercadien, MarketFair, Schwab, and The Parris Family.
