Celebrate Local Talent At The Arts For All Festival This Weekend

As a mom and a Nana, I've spent many Mother's Day weekends at Lawton's annual Arts for All Festival! We always enjoy shopping and eat at the festival, but usually our main reason to be there is watching a child or grandchild perform.

The Arts for All Festival is all about celebrating art, whether it's painting, sculpting, singing or dancing! The festival has two stages filled with entertainment all weekend long. All performances at the Arts for All Festival are free to attend.

Lawton's Arts for All Festival will feature local and professional entertainment.
