Handmade work by the river
The organizer says every item is made by the exhibiting artist. That direct connection gives visitors a chance to ask how a stained-glass panel was assembled or what materials shaped a metal sculpture.
The park’s trees and riverside paths offer a relaxed setting. Food and seating make it easy to split the visit into more than one pass through the booths.
Choosing a day
Friday and Saturday have the longest hours. Sunday closes at 4 p.m., so arrive earlier if you want to cover all 150-plus exhibitors and return to favorite makers.
