Doylestown Arts Festival Announces 2026 Live Music Lineup

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Doylestown Arts Festival on Wednesday announced the official live music lineup for its milestone 35th anniversary.

Returning to the streets of Doylestown Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13, this year’s lineup will be front and center, pulsing across genres from gritty rock and smooth jazz to indie, pop, and acoustic songwriters.

The festival will host popular acts from the surrounding region, including Zydeco a Go Go, Ballistic Berry, Pepperwine, and Pure Jerry. Local fan favorites will also make an appearance, including Hay Sugar, Away Message, Dale Ciccarelli, The Great Bonfire, and student talent from School of Rock Doylestown.

This year’s music programming is made free to the public thanks to the generosity of Discover Doylestown and LBK Design Build. Visit dtownartsfestival.com/schedule/music/ for a complete schedule of performances.

“Doylestown and its surrounding area have always been a hive of creative talent. Having five music stages at each of the entry points to the festival acts as the perfect connective tissue for the weekend. There is a feeling of intangible magic that makes art come alive when a community gathers for live music. It’s beautiful and inspiring,” said Luke Pomper, resident and musician.

In addition to the festival’s extensive live music schedule, the 35th annual event will showcase more than 170 juried artists, art demonstrations, and engaging activities for all ages. The entire weekend is designed to celebrate local creativity and support the vibrant downtown business district.
