About this event
The Southern Vermont Art and Craft festival location is the Riley Rink Events field. 410 Hunter Park Rd. Manchester Center, VT 05255. Dates and hours are Sept 6-8, 2024. 10am-5pm. Adult single day tickets are $10. Weekend passes are $12. Children 14 and under are free. Parking is FREE! Please NO PETS!
For decades, a Craftproducers show is a family affair, with most exhibitors returning annually to see old friends and meet new ones. We plan on 125 juried artists and artisans displaying and selling their contemporary craftwork, each in their own pop-up tent, a perfect time of year to be outdoors. Exhibitors come from all the New England states as well as NY, NJ, and PA.
The festival will have a huge dining tent with tables and chairs and an inside stage where a different local or regional band will perform each day. There is no extra charge for the live music so enjoy it throughout the day and weekend.
In the past the Manchester show has always served fabulous food fare, ranging from angus beef burgers to homemade falafel and everything in between: brick oven wood fired pizza, spicy Asian food, grilled chicken, tempeh Reuben sandwiches, fresh cut French fries, lemonade, ice cream, coffee, and more. We are aiming at a few surprises here to please your palette.
In addition to the juried craftwork is an entire section of specialty foods and beverages for take home. Vermont is renowned for its many agricultural farms specializing in Wines and Spirits and we are fortunate to have them here.
Enjoy refreshing beverages perfect for a late summer weekend. The standalone Beer and Wine offers local domestic and craft brewed options with a great choice for every taste.

Smoking is allowed outside the tents, and we know our audience is such that they would not litter the grounds with their debris and instead use the trashcans all over the site. This has not been an issue for us up to now.
No! The live music is FREE inside the dining tent. Grab your lunch and enjoy the bands in the comfort of the large tent or outside if weather is nice.
Yes! Our Vermont shows always have FREE parking in the field where the venue is.
We will have either portable units with handwashing stations or, if available and when possible, wedding style trailers.
