KilGogh Arts Festival
Friday February 21- Saturday February 22, 2019
The KilGogh Arts Festival aims to provide an opportunity for local and regional artists to exhibit their art and make the festival an East Texas art experience for the community. KilGogh attracts artists and visitors from across East Texas, the Shreveport/Bossier area and Dallas/Fort Worth region. Started by local art enthusiasts, this event has grown each year since its inaugural event in March 2013, and is now managed by the Kilgore Main Street program.
The KilGogh Arts Festival is returning for an eighth year and this year we're taking the theme "Gogh Crazy!" seriously with the biggest festival yet! With two locations and two days of activities, you won't want to miss out on KilGogh 2020. Read more about each event below.
