Apple Pie Crafts Fair 2021

The 47th Annual! Sat. Aug. 28, 2021 |  9am-3pm | Rain or Shine |  Newport Town Common, Newport, NH The 47th Annual Apple Pie Crafts Fair will be held, rain or shine, Saturday, August 28 from 9am – 3 pm on the Newport Town Common. The Apple Pie Crafts Fair is an annual event sponsored by the Library Arts Center. Booth fees help to raise much-needed funds for exhibits, classes, and programs. *Please note that while the Library Arts Center has made the determination to move forward with the Fair and begin registration, a final determination will not be made about whether or not we are able to run the Fair until late July. In the event the organizer cancels this year's Fair, full refunds will be made to all registered vendors. **Additional precautions for health and safety are being made in light of the pandemic, and due to increased spacing, less booths are available at the current time. If guidelines change, we may be able to open up additional spaces, and will utilize the waiting list. Find out more about changes to this year's Fair at the link HERE. The Apple Pie Crafts Fair attracts 3000+ people to Newport from a range of surrounding communities. Our 2019 fair was our biggest, most well-attended event to date! This iconic Fair features an apple pie contest & sale, live music throughout the day, and food vendors. It is open to both amateur and professional artists and craftspeople and will provide an opportunity to exhibit, market, and demonstrate your work. We work hard to keep the Fair a true "Craft" Fair, therefore, we only feature hand-crafted items. Items for sale must be 1) handmade 2) handmade locally 3) handmade by you. If your items for sale do not meet all of these criteria, then you need not apply. Please inquire about booths for non-profit organizations. There is a very small quota for this category, and spaces fill quickly. If you have any questions about the criteria for entry, please click the link below for details on our website. We are offering several different sizes for booth spaces. Please see the map of the Common to note the distinction. (note: fee is for space only and does not include tables, chairs, etc.) *Please see the map below to see the distinction. **Also, please note that the 10x10 booths on the Common Interior do NOT have access to electricity.
