Welcome to the YSU Summer Festival of the Arts!

Celebrating Art, Culture and Jazz in our Community It is a pleasure to welcome everyone to the campus of Youngstown State University for our 18th annual Summer Festival of the Arts. Over the course of two days, thousands of visitors of all ages from throughout the region will converge on campus to participate in an array of activities, including dozens of music and dance performances featuring our own YSU students and alumni. There truly is something for everyone - from the wonderful paintings, woodworking, jewelry and other original artwork by 77 talented artists on the core of campus to shows at the Ward Beecher Planetarium to a variety of ethnic foods at the Festival of Nations. And it doesn’t end there. We encourage you to check out other happenings near campus, including the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church Summerfest on Walnut Street, the Downtow n Shutdow n, featuring The Clarks, Youngstown Wine & Jazz featuring saxophonist Marion Meadows on Saturday, and on Sunday the 2K16 Gospel Fest featuring gospel legend Fred Hammond.
