Labor Day Weekend Craft Festival

The Labor Day Weekend Craft Festival in Yarmouth is a juried outdoor arts & craft event produced by Castleberry Fairs and held during one of Cape Cod’s busiest holiday weekends. Now in its 11th year, this well-established event continues to grow, featuring a carefully curated selection of American-made arts, crafts, and specialty foods in a relaxed coastal setting.

The festival attracts strong holiday weekend foot traffic from both locals and vacationers who value 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 audience that appreciates quality handmade work. This event is a strong fit for artists and makers offering distinctive, well-crafted products and a cohesive, professional booth presentation.
