Manayunk will transform its streets into an open-air art gallery for the 20th time.

The Manayunk’s Arts Festival, one of the largest outdoor arts festivals in the region and ranked one of the top festivals in the country is back.

The festival will take place Saturday and Sunday starting at 11 each morning.

More than 260 local and national artists will exhibit their work on Main Street, showcasing a variety of work including jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, photography, painting, and glass.

And the festival isn't only about art. It also features live entertainment.

You can test-drive cars, experience the sights and sounds of Africa, Asia and the Arctic at the Wild Kingdom Adventure and there will be plenty of free product samples to pick up, like Burt's Bees and drinks (yes, samples of the alcoholic kind).

So, get out to Main Street and enjoy the arts.
