WHS presents the 43rd Annual Old Wethersfield Arts & Crafts Fair

Wethersfield Historical Society presents the 43^rd Annual Old Wethersfield Arts & Crafts Fair on Saturday, October 4 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Join us for a day of community, fun, and celebration on the beautiful grounds of Cove Park 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. 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. They are available online through EventBrite or you can save the online fees and purchase in-person by check or cash at our offices in the Keeney Center (200 Main Street, Wethersfield) 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, Tuesday through Friday. Purchased at the gate on the day of the event, admission is $10. 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.
