“We can’t wait to party with you and your family! ,” said Corey Jennings, President of the Greater Remington Improvement Association. “Remfest 2024 is more than just a festival; it’s a reflection of our vibrant community spirit and a celebration of local talent and entrepreneurship.”
The first Remfest was held in 2017, followed by events in 2018, 2019, and 2022. Remfest was postponed in 2023 due to scheduling conflicts with Artscape 2023, which was held Sept. 22 to 24. In March 2023, Remfest organizers announced that the festival would return this spring on May 11. Artscape is going to be held in early August 2024.
The festival is presented by the Greater Remington Improvement Association, an independent, resident-based neighborhood association that works to retain Remington’s diversity, vibrancy, and community connectedness.
