Mayfest Arts Crafts Festival
2019
Downtown Bennington Hosting First Event of the Season
The 34th Annual Mayfest Arts and Crafts Festival, Downtown Bennington’s signature event, kicks off the summer in Southern Vermont on Saturday, May 25. Main Street will once again be closed to vehicle traffic and filled with over 100 vendors offering juried crafts and specialty food between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. There will be live performances throughout the day as well as children’s activities, live demos, and much more. Artisans will be offering a wide range of products, from handmade jewelry, clothing, sculpture, carvings and paintings, to gifts, specialty food items, and so much more. Food vendors include such treats as Indian and Thai cuisine, fried dough, BBQ, gourmet grilled cheese, fresh squeezed lemonade, and cotton candy; all that in addition to over a dozen downtown restaurants to choose from. Events for children include: face painting, a dunking booth, the 4H playground, a bubble making pool, bouncy house, and games with prizes. Live music and entertainment will be occurring on the Main Stage near the food court. The best part of all is that many of our Main Street businesses will be offering special activities and special prices throughout the day. The Vermont Souvenir Room at Knapp’s Toys and Hobbies will be celebrating their 1st year anniversary. St. Peter’s Church will be holding a tag and bake sale. The Bennington Farmers’ Market will be located on Riverwalk on Depot Street from 10am to 1pm.
Bring your whole family to downtown Bennington for this annual rite of spring. There is no admission charge and free parking is available everywhere. For more information, contact the Bennington Downtown Alliance at (802) 442-5758 or admin@betterbennington.com.
