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. For a complete list of participating vendors, admission information, and more details about this popular event, visit Craft Fair’s dedicated page on the website HERE.
Free parking is available along State Street, and adjacent to the DMV. While Google gives the address of Cove Park as 533 Main Street, fair goers would be better served using the Solomon Wells House (220 Hartford Avenue) or the DMV (60 State Street) as a frame of reference.
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. Purchased in advance, tickets are $7, either online through EventBrite or you can save the online fees and buy them in person at the Old Academy (150 Main Street, Wethersfield) Tuesday - Friday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Tickets sold at the Old Academy must be purchased with cash or check. Advance tickets 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.
