Winter Arts Fest 2024 Recap
The Winter Arts Festival, hosted by the Old Central City Association and RenewAll Inc., brought vibrancy and creativity to the heart of Huntington on February 29th, 2024. Embracing the uniqueness of Leap Day, this annual event showcased the rich tapestry of local talent past and present, transforming the Central City District into a bustling hub of artistic expression.
Located on 14th Street West, known for its charming antique shops and lively ambiance, the festival was a celebration of community spirit and artistic innovation.
