Ridge Road will be lined with artists from across Western New York who specialize in a multitude of mediums for a fun night with delectable food, inspiring art, fascinating culture, and wonderful people. From sketches and watercolors to guitarists and metalworking, the 2nd annual Arts on Ridge Festival will bring a renewed breath of life to the Ridge Road corridor.

Arts on Ridge celebrates local arts and culture by showcasing all of the various mediums of art. In doing so, we hope to allow individuals to attain a much more diverse and rich understanding of what the Western New York art scene entails. However, by pairing our talented participants with local businesses, the event also attracts individuals to our lovely establishments here in Lackawanna to highlight the upswing that our once forgotten city is experiencing. After all, Lackawanna is About FACE: Food, Art, Culture, and Everything Else.

We cannot wait to see everyone on Ridge Road between South Park and the Lackawanna Public Library at the 2nd Annual Arts on Ridge Festival on Thursday, September 22nd starting at 6:00pm, hosted by the City of Lackawanna.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or are interested in being a part of Arts on Ridge, please feel free to contact Lackawanna's Director of Development, Fred K. Heinle, at 716-827-6421, or by email at development@lackny.com
