Come by train, car or kayak - but do not miss the upcoming Garrison Art Center 41st Annual Fine Arts & Crafts Fair, August 21 & 22, 10am - 5pm (rain or shine). Set on the river’s edge in Garrison, New York, with majestic Hudson River and Hudson Highlands views, the FAIR offers a uniquely exquisite spot to shop. The event, now in its forty-first year, showcases two days of high quality crafts, a food court with an eclectic array of food, non-stop live music, free rides on the sloop Woody Guthrie and new this year boat building demos.
The FAIR is a premier event in the Hudson Valley for collectors of hand-made traditional and alternative craft and for those looking for the unique gift. This intimate FAIR hosts 90 plus juried artists/artisans with furniture, wooden kayaks, photography, jewelry, gourmet foods, glass items, one-of-a-kind clothing, fine arts, ceramics, furniture, tableware, and more.
