The Fair is held in the National Historic Landmark village of Waterford. This unique setting gives the 80 juried, heritage and contemporary artisans, accepted as Demonstrating Artisans, a beautiful backdrop to demonstrate, sell their products and cultivate lasting relationships with loyal buyers.

 

The 14,000+ Fair visitors enjoy strolling the streets of the Landmark, taking in the history of this 18th c. Quaker village, touring historic homes, learning about the Artisans and their work, and purchasing their wares. Fair organizers cater to all artistic preferences and budgets of the attendees. The result is a tasteful selection of high-quality, handmade items juried in eleven (11) media categories.
