Tips & Advice
- Look over the Craft Fest 2026 vendor list ahead of time so you know which makers you want to find once you're inside the busy gallery.
- Bring your holiday gift list, since one room covers jewelry, ceramics, clothing, home goods, beauty items and artisanal foods from local makers.
- Make sure to go on the day, because Craft Fest is a one-day pop-up shop inside the gallery and the vendors aren't there afterward.
- Join the Bedford newsletter for Craft Fest news and updates as the date gets closer and the vendor lineup fills in.
