Chatham Fall Craft Festival

The Chatham Fall Craft Festival is a juried outdoor arts & craft event produced by Castleberry Fairs and held in the heart of Chatham during the fall season. This event brings together a curated selection of American-made arts, crafts, and specialty foods in a welcoming coastal setting.

The festival attracts a strong mix of local residents and seasonal visitors who appreciate originality, skilled craftsmanship, and the opportunity to connect directly with the artists behind the work. Shoppers come ready to browse, engage, and support handmade businesses.

Accepted exhibitors can expect a professionally organized show with clear communication, thoughtful layout, and an engaged audience that values quality handmade work. The Chatham Fall Craft Festival is a strong fit for artists and makers offering distinctive, well-crafted products and a cohesive, professional booth presentation.
