Thank You for a Wonderful Hastings Fall Festival of Art!

Hastings Main Street extends a heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, volunteered, and helped make the Hastings Fall Festival of Art on October 24 and 25 such a memorable celebration of creativity and community spirit.

From the scenic Farm Tour that showcased our region’s agricultural beauty to the lively Paella Dinner that brought neighbors and visitors together around the table, the weekend was filled with art, flavor, and connection.

We give special appreciation to our featured artists — Claire Kendrick for her inspiring live art demonstration, James White Sr. and Josiah Keller for their exceptional art displays, and textile artist Rachel Sobenes Desmé for sharing her craft with such passion and creativity.

A huge thank you also goes to The Dance Conservatory for surprising and delighting everyone with their amazing Flash Mob performance — a true highlight of the festival!

Most of all, thank you to our volunteers and community partners whose dedication and enthusiasm made the festival possible. Hastings thrives because of you — your hands, hearts, and creativity bring our town to life.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year as we continue celebrating the art, heritage, and hospitality that make Hastings so special.
