Back for its annual return on June 28–29, 2025: Art All Night-Trenton is the primary fundraiser for Artworks Trenton, the capital city’s nonprofit visual arts center. By bringing the community together through creativity, it supports free classes, exhibitions, and outreach programs all year long. The event will once again run a full 24 hours, offering an immersive celebration of creativity from 3 pm Saturday afternoon to 3 pm Sunday afternoon—with new experiences for artists, families, night owls, and everyone in between.
Held at the Trenton War Memorial, the event kicks off on Saturday, June 28 at 3 pm and runs until midnight with a community gallery of visual art, live performances, live murals, a beer garden brought to you by the Bent Iron Brewing Company, interactive workshops, and more. This year’s event also features a vibrant Kids Corner, presented by Capital City Craft Studio, offering face painting, Isles Trex trucks, crafts from the New Jersey State Museum, performances by the Trenton Circus Squad, and interactive classes from two teaching artists. For adults looking for something a little unexpected, the Boozy Steam Lab offers a 21-and-over experience that blends science and mixology with sessions at 10 pm and 11 pm.
When the doors close at the War Memorial, the night continues at Vibes All Night, a late-night celebration of art, culture, and community held just down the street at 13 West Front Street from 12 am to 5 am on June 29. Vibes All Night invites night owls, dreamers, and insomniacs to gather in a space filled with creative energy—featuring local DJs, live art, vintage and handmade vendors, late-night bites, drinks, and space to unwind or turn up. It’s a free, open-to-all experience designed to keep the community connected and inspired deep into the night.
“This year, we’re thrilled to bring back the full 24 hours of Art All Night,” says Kenny Bullock, Creative Director. “And now, with Vibes All Night taking over after midnight, we’re expanding what the night can be—welcoming people into a different kind of creative space where the energy keeps flowing and everyone belongs.”
Open calls to submit art and volunteers are still live at www.artallnighttrenton.org. Whether you’re creating, supporting, or just showing up to soak it all in—there’s something for everyone.
