Join us as we celebrate the 51st annual YMCA Craft Fair! This year we're going virtual, but we'll still help you to get ready for the holidays when you shop with juried vendors and enjoy the beauty and diversity of handmade art!
Although we won’t be gathering in person, we are planning to still provide a celebration of the things that make the Y Craft Fair so special – arts, crafts, great gifts, music, dance, stories, community and more– but, to do so without holding a large festival where so many people gather close together.
During the week, we will host a variety of ways to support our vendors, coming together, virtually, as a community. We will set up a virtual artist market to shop through, food vendors to order from, streaming content such as live music, dance and more! The site will remain live through December 31st offering you the opportunity to pop back and purchase more beautifully crafted gifts for friends, family or just for yourself!
We have signed up 36 amazing local, regional and national artisans who are busy preparing their virtual stores for you. Artisans will have the ability through this platform to interact with customers with live chat, videos of the artists at work, and beautiful photographs. Favorite vendors from past years including Poplar Hills Alpaca Farm & Studio, Bohicket Apothecary and Anvil, Fire & Time jewelry will be participating in this online event and will be joined by artisans from all over the country.
Our interactive entertainment schedule is growing daily with scheduled performances from PanJammers, Mixed Emotions (VT A Cappella group), Storytime with Joelle, Read Aloud with Miss Rosso, information from groups including the AARP, performances from Dance Tech and so much more.
We really are so thrilled to invite the community to join us for the 51st annual Craft Fair in this virtual format.
