Centered around the Historic Farmers Market and featuring over 50 vendors, artists and crafters from all over the Commonwealth, there won’t be anything you can’t find to fit your style, mood or need.
Fine handmade jewelry, hand painted wine glasses, hand crafted musical instruments, pottery and ceramics, clothing, original paintings and artwork, antiques, the list goes on.
Not to be outdone by the wineries, breweries and crafters, the food vendors are coming out in full force. Just deciding whether to have funnel cakes, barbecue, steak-n-cheese, shish kabobs, or just burgers and dogs may take you the whole day. All downtown restaurants will also be open during the festival in case you prefer to sit and rest a bit while you eat as we offer free re-entry into the festival.
