The somewhat misnamed Alexandria Old Town Art Festival is returning for its 22nd year this weekend.

The festival brings art together from across the country — a full list of participating artists is available online.

The event takes over John Carlyle Square (300 John Carlyle Street) in the Carlyle neighborhood. The festival is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 15, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and is free to attend.

“All artwork is juried, which provides a higher level of quality, diversity and creativity of art on display, exemplifying the gifted artists in regions from all over the country,” the festival website said. “The show is rated as one of the top 100 art shows in Sunshine Artist Magazine.”
