What’s On The Calendar
Saturday, August 1 to Sunday, August 9 – Annual League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair at Mt. Sunapee
1 Hr. Drive
The Annual Craftsmen’s Fair, now in its 93rd year, is one of the oldest and most prestigious craft fairs in the country. Held over nine days each August at Mount Sunapee Resort in Newbury, NH, the Fair showcases the juried work of hundreds of master artisans from the League of NH Craftsmen. Visitors can browse and shop high-quality, handmade pieces ranging from pottery, glass, and fiber art to woodworking, metalwork, and fine jewelry.
Beyond the booths, the Fair offers a rich lineup of interactive demonstrations, live craft-making, workshops, and curated exhibitions that bring the creative process to life. It’s a hands-on celebration of traditional and contemporary craft that draws over 20,000 attendees each year—from collectors and designers to families and curious newcomers. Whether you're looking to take home a one-of-a-kind piece or simply experience the artistry in action, the Annual Craftsmen’s Fair offers something for everyone.
