Hallockville Museum Farm

Hallockville Museum Farm will host its annual Long Island Fleece &amp; Fiber Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inviting visitors to experience the full journey of fiber -- from raw fleece to finished textile -- at its historic North Fork campus.
A longtime spring tradition, the festival brings the cycle of fiber to life through live sheep and llama shearing with Long Island Yarn and Farm, spinning, and weaving demonstrations, along with a marketplace featuring more than two dozen regional fiber artists and artisans.
A major highlight this year is the appearance of nationally recognized knitting expert Patty Lyons, who will lead two special sessions focused on practical techniques and problem-solving for knitters. Additional hands-on workshops include an introduction to weaving with the Paumanok Weavers, where participants can create their own scarf; a flat needle-felted farm landscape workshop led by Shamma Murphy; and basket weaving with Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas using natural materials such as silk, seagrass, and wool. Advance registration is required for workshops.
In addition to demonstrations and workshops, visitors can explore a variety of family-friendly activities, including a children’s craft area, agricultural displays, and opportunities to meet the farm’s animals. Attendees are welcome to bring their fiber arts projects to work amongst like-minded creators.
“The Fleece &amp; Fiber Festival connects people directly to the traditions that shaped life on the North Fork,” said Executive Director Heather Johnson. “It’s a chance to see, touch, and learn skills that were once part of everyday life here and that continue to inspire makers today.”
The festival also features live music by the Old Time Jam, local food vendors, and a bake sale hosted by Hallockville Bakers.
Admission is $10 for adults; children 12 and under are free.
Location: Hallockville Museum Farm, 6038 Sound Avenue, Riverhead
