This Memorial Day weekend, Northampton transforms into the nation’s premier destination for lovers of the handmade and the high-end. We are thrilled to welcome you back for a three-day celebration of creativity, featuring 200 world-class artists and makers traveling from every corner of the country to showcase their craft. Whether you are looking to curate your living space or your wardrobe, you’ll find an unparalleled selection of handmade home decor, museum-quality sculpture, avant-garde fashion, shimmering jewelry, fine art, and functional ceramics.

We believe art is most powerful when you can see the “how” behind the “wow.” Throughout the weekend, patrons can get a front-row seat to the creative process through live artist demonstrations. Witness the intense heat of live glass blowing or the meditative precision of wheel-thrown pottery. For those who want to get their own hands dirty, our Crafting with Color activities offer an epic space for kids (and the young at heart) to explore their own artistic instincts. It’s a place where “please touch” is the rule, not the exception.

With nearly a dozen local restaurants and food trucks on-site, you can rest your feet and fuel your shopping with everything from Filipino street food to burgers or perogies. Enjoy a pint of craft beer or a cocktail while you take in a curated live music lineup, culminating in a special Saturday night concert featuring the indie-pop favorite, Winterpills-the perfect way to start your summer.

The thing we’re most excited about this year? The launch of our Emerging Artist Collective. We are dedicated to cultivating the future of American craft by carving out a dedicated space for new makers. These rising stars are at the beginning of their professional journeys, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative techniques to our audience. By supporting the Collective, you aren’t just buying a piece of art; you are investing in the next generation of our creative economy.
