Unitarian Universalist Church

The Kris Kringle Fair will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 9 am to 2 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Reading, 239 Woburn St., Reading, MA. Sales will take place indoors as well as under the tent. Booths include Jewelry, Attic Treasures, Toys and Kids Books, Silent Auction, Potpourri (new items), Boutique (handmade items), Raffle, Live Music, Baked Goods, Country Store, Snack Bar and Puzzles. All spaces are handicap accessible.
The Silent Auction will be on app.bidbeacon.com. Use the code TDYUBK to find the Kris Kringle Fair Silent Auction 2026. All items will be on display during the fair. Bidding will open November 9 and close at 3 pm on November 14. Pick up your winnings on November 15 between 11:30 am and 2 pm.
Among this year’s Raffle items are a $200 Amazon gift card, $100 worth of lottery tickets, and a beautiful patchwork quilt designed and made by the UUCR Quilters. This year’s quilt is “Sending You Light.”
Come at 9 to enjoy fresh-baked scones from the Snack Bar while they last, or come at lunchtime to enjoy homemade vegan chili, hot dogs, and many other treats. All of the Snack Bar offerings are nut-free. The Kris Kringle Fair is the church’s biggest fellowship event and fundraiser of the year. When the fair comes around each fall, everyone at UUCR organizes, donates, bakes, cooks, sings, plays music, greets, staffs tables, or shops—working side by side to make this daylong fair a much-anticipated and enjoyed event for the church, for Reading, and for surrounding communities.
Church services and Religious Education classes are held in person on Sunday mornings at 10 am. Services are also broadcast on YouTube. All are welcome.

She has received several awards for her work and maintains a studio at Arts Collaborative Medford.


 Samantha Bartelemy is showing her collection that bridges the gap between reality and abstraction translating a photograph into a mixed-media collage. “Riptides" is layered with watercolor and textured papers, captures a coastal landscape through the literal lens of the camera and the artistic lens of her eye.
Constance Festo Lafond's artistic career spans 50 years evolving into an artist without one specific style. Her paintings are impressionistic, abstract, figurative and contemporary.Her one constant is her expressive use of color and composition. She has been in galleries and exhibitions throughout New England.
