St. Andrew’s Episcopal School and the St. Andrew’s Parents’ Association are proud to host the 8th annual Arts on the Green. Presented by Trustmark, this weekend event will be held on April 20 -21 and boasts activities for all ages, both within the St. Andrew’s community as well as the wider public.
The weekend kicks off at 7 p.m. on Friday with Starry Night, an adults-only party, hosted at the Early Childhood Center on the school’s Fondren campus. Local eatery Fine & Dandy will sponsor this event as our Starry Night Benefactor.
Festivities continue from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday on the Ridgeland campus with the family-friendly festival, Arts on the Green. Open to the public, Arts on the Green celebrates art, music, and food, while continuing St. Andrew’s mission of community outreach. Made possible by the generosity of our corporate sponsors and a virtual army of parent and student volunteers, Arts on the Green has something for everyone, including:
The Main Stage, sponsored by Mercedes-Benz of Jackson, with performances by the children’s choir from Brown Elementary, dancers from the Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet, and rock band Left of the Dial, among other groups

The Artisans’ Village, where local artists and craftspeople will be displaying and selling their wares
The Entrepreneurial Alley in the Artisans’ Village for St. Andrew’s students selling their handmade creations
