37th Annual Mayfest Arts & Crafts Festival

We're thrilled to announce the return of Downtown Bennington's beloved tradition, the 37th Annual Mayfest Arts and Crafts Festival! This annual rite of spring will transform Main Street into a vibrant hub of creativity and community on MAY 25 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

As Main Street closes to vehicle traffic, prepare to be captivated as it comes alive with over 75 vendors showcasing crafts and delectable food offerings. Bring your family and friends for a day filled with shopping, dining, entertainment, and socializing against the picturesque backdrop of downtown Bennington. Best of all, admission is FREE, and there's ample free parking available downtown!

Indulge in many live performances across several stages, and there will even be shows for the kids on the Thomson Family Stage in Merchants Park. 🎶🎭 Keep the little ones entertained with exciting children's activities, games, and more! From handmade jewelry and clothing to exquisite sculptures and paintings, our talented artisans will showcase diverse products to satisfy every taste and preference. Plus, don't miss out on the delightful treats from our food vendors: fried dough, cheese curds, freshly squeezed lemonade, and more!

But wait, there's more! Many of our Main Street businesses will be rolling out the red carpet with special activities and exclusive deals throughout the day. And let's not forget about the fantastic dining options offered by our downtown restaurants, serving up their own mouthwatering specialties! 🍽️ Extend your experience beyond the festival and create unforgettable memories in our welcoming town. Come for Mayfest, stay for the adventure!
