The Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair returns for its 44th anniversary year, remaining one of the Hudson Valley’s most beloved biannual traditions.

Presented by Quail Hollow Events, the fair showcases hundreds of the country’s most creative small businesses, with a focus on handmade, original work that is carefully curated across over 10 media categories. More than just a shopping experience, the fair fosters personal connections and offers fun for all generations; visitors enjoy live music weekend-long and shoppers with young children can take advantage of the complimentary drop-off children’s tent. Artists and craftspeople are selected based on originality in both design and execution, and all work must be made—and sold—by the artists themselves. Many makers return year after year, with a select few having exhibited since its founding in 1982.
