Fair to Host 250 Craftsmen at Rockingham Park

Over 250 of New England’s finest artisans will display and sell their crafts at the 16th annual New England Craft & Specialty Food Fair at Rockingham Park on Friday, Nov. 11, Saturday, Nov. 12 and Sunday, Nov. 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

The indoor event will feature hundreds of arts and crafts handmade in America, dozens of specialty food options and live music for families to kick-off their holiday shopping in tax-free New Hampshire.

“Anyone can purchase a present from a mall or online retailer, but when you buy a handmade gift from one of our artisans it’s a timeless treasure that’ll last a lifetime,” said Terry Mullen, founder of Castleberry Fairs & Festivals and the fair’s director. “At the New England Craft & Specialty Food Fair, you get more than a beautiful handmade gift – you get the story of how that craft was made directly from the person who made it.”

The New England Craft & Specialty Food Fair strictly limits each craft to no more than 10 percent of the booths so unlike at other fairs you won’t find an overabundance of jewelry, photography or any other single craft.

The fair is held indoors rain, snow or shine. Admission, which is valid for all three days, is $6 per adult and free for kids under 14. For discount admission coupons, visit www.castleberryfairs.com.
