Prescott Park Arts Festival, an indie non-profit arts organization, is the Seacoast’s premier outdoor performing arts venue, offering a uniquely accessible experience of high-quality live theater and music -- no fixed admissions fees -- in an idyllic natural setting. Prescott Park Arts Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary of presenting music, art, theater and dance on the banks of the Piscataqua River since 1974. The primary objective of the Festival is to provide quality family entertainment, promote artistic excellence in the community, and maintain quality presentations of both entertainment and educational events. Implicit in this charge is the exercise of cultural leadership, sensitivity to the community and fiscal responsibility. Located on 3.5 acres in beautiful downtown Portsmouth, the arts festival has a long and rich history of successfully presenting the arts with no fixed admission. Because of this suggested donation policy, many people have their first experience with a live performance at Prescott Park. Everyone has a home here.
