Fall Arts and Crafts Show Returns to Occoquan By Erin Pittman
F
all means many things to each of us. It means pumpkin flavored everything to pumpkin lovers. Warm, cozy hoodies for those who always crave coziness. And the beloved Fall Arts and Crafts Show for anyone who lives near the Town of Occoquan. Like many other events, it was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the spring event was replaced with a smaller Artisan Market series, which took place on single weekends in May and June in River Mill Park.
Fall Arts and Crafts Show 2021 To the delight of so many, the arts and crafts show will be returning on Sept. 25 and 26, 2021. Everyone is invited to the streets of Historic Occoquan from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday, no matter the weather. The show must go on! “For over 50 years, the Town has hosted its famous crafts show here but when the pandemic hit, we had to adjust our plans. We are really excited to bring back the Fall Arts and Crafts Show to the streets of the historic district,” said Julie Little, Events and Community Development Director for the town. “We’ll be featuring lots of our favorite artisans and crafters and welcoming many new ones as well. We’re looking forward to a great openair weekend full of fun, food and fantastic shopping!” As usual, the arts and crafts show will feature hundreds of arts, crafts and food vendors along Mill Street, so bring your wallet, appreciation for art, and a healthy appetite.
