#CDAF2022 - New Date Announcement!

Press Release

Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

#CDAF2022 has a new date!

The 2022 Cotton District Arts Festival is now set for October 29, 2022! Presented by the Starkville Area Arts Council (SAAC) and the Cotton District Arts Festival (CDAF) Committee, they are excited to bring this historic festival back to the Cotton District this fall with new and returning artisans, local food vendors and food trucks, local musicians, fun arts activities for all ages, and more!


The date change is due to scheduling conflicts with other major arts festivals in the south that many local artisans and vendors also participate in. This new date does not currently fall on an MSU football gameday weekend or any other major events in Starkville, which the committee hopes will make it easier for artisan and food vendors to participate. This change has been heavily considered by the committee, the city, and other major CDAF partners.

Applications for the Artisan Village, the CDAF Juried Arts Show, and Taste of Starkville will now open earlier on APRIL 1, 2022, on Submittable. Please see the Applications page on www.cdafestival.com for application links once they become available.

SAAC and CDAF would like to thank all of their artists, vendors, musicians, applicants, volunteers, and sponsors for supporting CDAF over the years. This event is presented by the Starkville Area Arts Council and supported in part by funding from the Mississippi Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts, Visit Mississippi, and many other local sponsors. In addition, the festival would not be possible without the support of patrons, members, and supporters of the Starkville Area Arts Council. To stay informed on CDAF dates and deadlines, please follow SAAC and CDAF on social media and sign up for the SAAC newsletter on the SAAC website (http://www.starkvillearts.net/).
