Haddonfield Crafts Festival Starts Saturday

The 21st Annual Haddonfield Fine Arts & Crafts Festival leads the things to do this week in the Haddons.

Organizers expect up to 100,000 people over the two-day event. It runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

"Artisans will exhibit a wide range of arts and crafts, including ceramics, glass, jewelry, wood, fiber, metal, paper, drawings, paintings, photography, and wearable art," according to a news release. "Appreciate three centuries of local history as many crafters utilize methods more than 300 years old, like pottery, watercolor, crochet, woodworking and basket weaving."

"What is a usually a busy main artery through the center of town is transformed into a festive corridor, alive with a panorama of artists' tents, outdoor cafes, musicians and more. The nationally ranked festival is not only the area's largest family-friendly event, it draws family-run craft businesses from across the country.

"The festival is located along Kings Highway between Washington and Haddon avenues and along Tanner Street to Euclid Avenue. This free event is easily accessible from area bridges or by taking the PATCO Speedline to the heart of the shopping district. Parking is also free during the two-day festival."
