Every year, the Boston College Arts Festival brings the community together to celebrate the arts. This annual spring event showcases over 1,000 student and faculty artists in the performing, visual, and literary arts. Over 16,100 people attended the 11th anniversary festival in 2009 – participating in art demonstrations, enjoying music, dance and theater performances, browsing through art exhibitions, listening to literary readings, and appreciating films.

Highlighted at the 2009 spring's festival was an innovative collaborative sculpture exhibition and the University Theater's presentation of Sweet Charity. Other annual features include children's activities, a mass for the arts, an exclusive alumni event, student art work for sale, multi-cultural dance performances and expanded hours at the McMullen Museum. Special guests at the 2009 festival included award-winning poet Brendan Galvin '60 and teen novelist Erin Dionne '97.
