A beloved Independence Day tradition returns in 2025 as Arts in the Park comes back to Bruce Park in New Martinsville on Friday, July 4, from 1 to 4 p.m.
The festival, hosted by the New Martinsville Parks & Recreation Commission and ArtsLink, invites local artists and crafters from across Wetzel and Tyler counties in West Virginia and Monroe County, Ohio, to demonstrate and sell their work. Best of all—there’s no fee to participate.

A Creative Community Celebration
Once again, Carman Harman will serve as Master of Ceremonies, guiding attendees through an afternoon filled with art, music, and community. Visitors can enjoy live music, browse art and craft exhibits, and watch creative demonstrations throughout the park.
