Widely known as a community where residents, businesses, and government agencies partner to support a vibrant artists' association, Bel Air has earned the designation as one of Maryland's 20 Arts & Entertainment Districts.  Residents and visitors enjoy concerts, theatric performances, and annual events like the Bel Air Festival for the Arts, Bel Air Film Festival, Christmas parades, and its annual Fourth of July celebration.

About the Bel Air Arts & Entertainment District

Rockfield Manor's next event is the Harford County Wine Festival on Saturday, September 27 from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Enjoy tastings, wine discounts, live music plus arts and crafts from local artisans.

Supporting the Arts

Supporting local artists so they can earn a living while pursuing their dreams is important to the Bel Air community. Bel Air provides tax breaks and credits to businesses that support artists and on income that artists make from their work. The city also keeps a running list of artists seeking help to transition from an emerging district to a regional Arts & Entertainment destination. 

The John Carroll High School, located at 703 Churchville Road in Bel Air, has recently expanded their Academy of Performing Arts and Dance to help the area's students develop their talents. The Bel Air High School, located at 100 Heighe Street, also has a new auditorium to host community performances.
