Lakeland, TN — Mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate community, creativity, and local culture at the 3rd Annual Lakeland Arts and Crafts Festival, happening Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the beautiful Lakeland Town Square.

After a spectacular second year, which saw over 3,000 attendees and more than 60 vendors showcasing a diverse array of handmade goods, local art, and unique treasures, this year’s festival promises to be even bigger and better! Organized by the Lakeland Arts Council in collaboration with the Lakeland Art Association, the festival has quickly become a cornerstone event, bringing neighbors together in a vibrant, walkable community setting.

Wesley Alan Wright, community leader and candidate for Shelby County Commissioner District 3, proudly stands as a champion for the arts and local culture. As the "Hub of the District," Wesley will be actively involved in the festival—using this special occasion to spotlight the creativity and talent flourishing in Lakeland and surrounding areas.

Visitors can look forward to an exciting lineup of performances, including Alexis Jade and The Gemstones, Josh Green, The Bellevue Orchestra, the Memphis Symphony ensemble, Briarcrest Soundscape, 76 South, and many others. Local school groups will also showcase their talents, adding to the family-friendly atmosphere. With expected participation from nearly 100 vendors, including the “Lions Lane” section featuring Lakeland Preparatory School organizations, this festival truly celebrates the heart of the community.

This event is more than just a festival—it’s a celebration of Lakeland’s spirit, a platform for local artists and entrepreneurs, and an opportunity to connect with neighbors while supporting small businesses. Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to the area, the Lakeland Arts and Crafts Festival is a perfect way to experience the unique culture and community pride that make this district special.
