Believe it or not, the Ithaca Spring Craft Show is older than Ithaca Festival itself!  Facilitated by the Downtown Ithaca Alliance, it is one of the largest homegrown arts and crafts events in the region.  Known for exhibiting the highest quality works from the Finger Lakes region, it annually attracts an enthusiastic audience all unto itself. 

New this year, the Spring Craft Show will take place in Downtown Ithaca on Friday & Saturday (12:00p - 8:00p), and Sunday (10:00a - 3:00p).  There will be no change of location to Stewart Park for Crafts Vendors this year!  Instead, we will be hosting a Sunday Brunch downtown from 10a - 3pm for those who would like to enjoy the Craft Show with a more quaint crowd and more ambient environment.

As we continue to evolve our artistic outreach through I-Fest, it is vital to note that the Crafts Fair has been an integral part of making Ithaca Festival a great success over the past 30 years and is poised to continue its independent success.  Of course, the key to its reputation and endurance rests squarely on the shoulders of each artisan who pours their respective heart into each creation! Please enjoy the company of each of these dedicated crafters as you meander through the Fair.
