49th Annual Franklin Newcomers and Friends Craft Fair - Nov 9

We’re excited to announce that our 49th annual Craft Fair is set for Saturday, November 9 at Tri-County High School in Franklin.

The event runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We are again back in our original location in the lobby, hallways and cafeteria. Tri-County High School is located at 147 Pond Street.

Craft Fair - Nov 9

This popular and well-established juried craft fair features hand-crafted items from artists throughout New England. You’ll find a great selection of items for your home, for gift-giving, specialty foods, and more.

The entry fee is $3 for people 12 years of age and older. The funds raised allow us to give back generously to the local community. We were able to donate $6,000 from funds raised at last year's Craft Fair to 10 different organizations. In addition, we also accept donations for the Franklin Food Pantry at the entrance to the Craft Fair.

If any High School students in our surrounding area are in need of community service hours, reach out to us for information. We need volunteers to assist crafters before and after the craft fair with the set up and take down of their booths. Email us at franklincraftfair@gmail.com.

For more info, find us on Facebook and Meetup for club information and activities: Franklin Newcomers & Friends Club.
