What you’ll find

The Essex Junction fair brings American-made arts and crafts together with specialty food and antiques. Its mixed format is useful for shoppers who enjoy handmade work but also want to browse vintage objects.

Plan your visit

Start with a pass through the displays, then return to the pieces that interest you. Ask about materials, how the work was made, and care or installation before buying. For a larger piece, check dimensions and arrange transport or delivery with the seller.

Before you go

Check the promoter-maintained FestivalNet listing for last-minute changes, the current vendor selection and entrance or parking instructions. Confirm any accessibility or other visitor arrangements you need directly with the organizer.
