Kempenfest was a great success this year, with over 200,000 visitors over the 4-day weekend. Our members exhibited over 100 works of art over the course of the festival as well as engaged visitors in various events and demos. The feedback was amazing, and we are grateful for the generosity of our volunteers and sponsors.
