Join Wethersfield Historical Society and over 90 juried artisans and vendors for the 42nd Old Wethersfield Arts & Crafts Fair. Held on the beautiful grounds of Cove Park, Craft Fair is a day of community, fun, and celebration of all things fall in the heart of the oldest and largest historic district in Connecticut. (Also the state’s most recently designated Cultural District). Browse hand-made items, shop for unique gifts, meet the artists, and watch demonstrations from over 90 juried artisans and vendors. There will be pottery, woodwork, prints, jewelry, textiles, and fabric art, painting, photography, and so much more. While Google gives the address of Cove Park as 533 Main Street, you would be better served using the Solomon Wells House (220 Hartford Avenue) or the DMV (60 State Street) as a frame of reference. One entrance to the fair is directly adjacent to the DMV's parking lot where you are welcome to park and the other is on State Street itself.
Wethersfield Historical Society’s Tent will be filled with “Attic Treasures” and treats. Our volunteer bakers will be offering delicious home-made goodies for sale. Throughout the year, our friends and neighbors have been donating one-of-a-kind items to our “Attic Treasures” that the society offers for sale to help support our educational programming. The Old Wethersfield Arts & Crafts Fair also welcomes other area non-profits like the Wethersfield Academy for the Arts, the Wethersfield Art League, and Ginger’s Jams and Jellies to share their work and missions with the community.
Back by popular demand, 1 free pumpkin will be given to the first 100 children under age 12. Children can bring their pumpkins to the tent along State Street to decorate them. Children (and their parents) will enjoy great food by many vendors. This year’s fair has the added feature of food trucks. There will also be live music.
The Old Wethersfield Arts & Crafts Fair is a benefit that supports Wethersfield Historical Society, a 501(c)3 non-profit, membership supported organization founded in 1932. The Society offers free admission to the Wethersfield Museum year round in addition to providing quality educational programming that improves the lives of residents and helps preserve the oldest and largest historic district in the state of Connecticut. Tickets are on sale now. Tickets purchased in advance, either online or at the Old Academy (150 Main Street, Wethersfield), are $7 and are available until 5:00 pm on October 4. After that time, admission jumps to $10.00 and on the day of the event. Current members of Wethersfield Historical Society and children under 12 accompanied by an adult are admitted free of charge. Due to the nominal nature of the admission charge, only cash will be accepted at the gate.
