The Ashokan Center’s 2nd annual Holiday Craft Faire

The Ashokan Center’s 2nd annual Holiday Craft Faire from 10 am – 2 pm on Sunday, December 10, 2023, free admission; there will be a mix of free and paid activities.

Celebrate the spirit of giving with us. Make your own traditional gifts, shop locally in our holiday market, and enjoy holiday fare, all to seasonal songs sung by local school choruses.

FREE ENTRY Browse our holiday market’s locally made furniture, jewelry and more. Visit the DIY craft tables for free all-ages crafts—felted soaps, pinecone bird feeders and more. Enjoy uplifting music from local youth. Hot savory food and drink will be for sale in the dining hall.

BY DONATION Get a fun photo with family and friends in our restored antique sleigh. Wreath-making with Molly Mason—this was very popular last year!
