Get ready for an unforgettable experience as Handcrafted Octoberfest: A Family Harvest Celebration returns to the Dutchess County Fairgrounds! Celebrating its sixth anniversary, this unique festival combines the best of Oktoberfest traditions with a vibrant, handcrafted twist, promising an event perfect for all ages.Produced by Quail Hollow Events, Handcrafted Octoberfest offers much more than beer—though you'll find plenty of that! This festival has earned a spot in Sunshine Artist Magazine's 200 Best of 2025, showcasing the nation's top contemporary craft fairs. It’s a celebration that has something for everyone, from exquisite handmade goods by fine artisans to the Hudson Valley’s top wine and spirits, musical performances, and festive activities.
Visitors can indulge in seasonal food delights, enjoy a pint in the lively beer garden, and be entertained by live music, witchy dancers, and lots of harvest fun. Kids will love the family art and crafts area, complete with creative free play and seasonal programming. Plus, don’t miss ongoing demonstrations from woodworkers, fiber spinners, metal forgers, jewelers, and even an expert pumpkin carver.
If you’re feeling autumnal, hop on a horse-drawn carriage ride around the fairgrounds, and catch a weigh-in of giant pumpkins—one of which may be the biggest in the state and will likely top 1,200 pounds!
