The PKX Festival returns to Poughkeepsie, transforming Mansion Square Park and the Family Partnership Center into a vibrant celebration of youth creativity. This free, all-ages event features hands-on art-making activities, live music, local vendors, and a teen art exhibition showcasing the talents of young artists. The evening culminates in a film showcase and awards ceremony, highlighting youth-produced short films from around the world. Designed and produced by the Poughkeepsie Board of Artistic Youth (PK B.A.Y.), the festival embodies the spirit of community and the power of youth-led artistic expression. The festival is a great place to experience the energy and innovation of Poughkeepsie’s next generation of artists.
