The 50th Annual Apple Pie Crafts Fair will be held, rain or shine, Saturday, August 24th from 9am – 3 pm on the Newport Town Common. The Apple Pie Crafts Fair is an annual event sponsored by the Library Arts Center. Booth fees help to raise much-needed funds for exhibits, classes, and programs.
The Apple Pie Crafts Fair attracts 3000+ people to Newport from a range of surrounding communities. This iconic Fair features an apple pie contest & sale, live music throughout the day, and food vendors. It is open to both amateur and professional artists and craftspeople and will provide an opportunity to exhibit, market, and demonstrate your work.
We work hard to keep the Fair a true "Craft" Fair, therefore, we only feature hand-crafted items. Items for sale must be 1) handmade 2) handmade locally 3) handmade by you. If your items for sale do not meet all of these criteria, then you need not apply. Please inquire about booths for non-profit organizations. There is a very small quota for this category, and spaces fill quickly. If you have any questions about the criteria for entry, please click the link below for details on our website. If booths sell out quickly, you are always able to join the waiting list and we will let you know if a spot opens up.
