Meadowbrook Waldorf School Holding Holiday Faire Nov. 23

WAKEFIELD, RI — The Meadowbrook Waldorf School is holding its annual Holiday Faire just in time for Thanksgiving, offering a day of shopping, food, music and activities for the whole family. This year's event will be held at the former South Road School from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 23.

In July 2018, the school's Richmond building was completely destroyed in a fire that started after it was struck by lightning overnight. More than 200 firefighters were called to the scene, but the school building was declared a total loss. Since then, the school has been relocated to its new, temporary home in Wakefield. A GoFundMe page set up for the school after the fire has raised more than $192,000 to date, exceeding its $150,000 goal.

Meadowbrook Waldorf has hosted the Holiday Faire, which serves as its primary fundraising event, for more than two decades. Proceeds from this year’s event will help support the school’s operations as the rebuilding process continues.

Along with shopping for local and unusual goods, visitors will have the opportunity to try candle-dipping, explore the crystal cave, watch a marionette show, ride a pony and create crafts. There will also be music and food, offering something for the entire family to enjoy. Admission is free.

The school is located at 1157 South Rd in Wakefield.
