Purple Painted Lady Festival Set for September 2025, Going Pink Breast Cancer Awareness

The 13th annual Purple Painted Lady Festival is scheduled for September 20 and 21, 2025, at 880 Yellow Mills Road in Palmyra. Known for bringing together artists, makers, musicians, and food vendors, the festival is expected to feature nearly 400 artists, 30 food trucks, and multiple live bands.

This year, the festival will emphasize breast cancer awareness by partnering with Embrace Your Sisters, a nonprofit organization that provides financial support to individuals battling breast cancer. The organization will benefit from the festival’s $10 entrance fee, which includes free parking.

Festival hours are set for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 20, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, September 21. Visitors are encouraged to arrive from the south side of Yellow Mills Road to help ease traffic flow.

In addition to art and entertainment, Rochester General Hospital’s Mobile Mammography Unit will be available at The Purple Painted Lady’s retail store at 2620 Route 31 in Palmyra. Walk-ins are welcome, though appointments are encouraged.

The festival is a pet-free and smoke-free event.
