About the Festival

Held annually since 1989, Hastings’ Cottonwood Festival is one of Nebraska's best! During this two-day arts festival – during the third weekend in June – food vendors line the sidewalks as patrons enjoy music, children's activities and fine art and craft displays.

The festival is held at historic Brickyard Park in southwest Hastings. The 27-acre park features a large amphitheatre with bleacher and hillside seating, a walking trail, picnic shelter and a playground.
