Occoquan, Va. –– One of the things to look for this weekend at the annual Occoquan Spring Craft Show are new vendors.
More than 270 vendors from points all across the U.S. are expected to descend on Occoquan this Saturday and Sunday, many of the newer ones will be artists and glass pottery makers.
Of course, you’ll still be able to find time-honored favorites at the show like can’t-get ‘em anywhere else handcrafted products and quilts, said the show’s director, Pat Thomas.
“It’s a unique show that features a lot of things you just can’t get commercially,” said Thomas.
This is the 42nd year the show has been staged in the town on the first weekend in June, and the spring show is usually a bit smaller than the fall show held each year during the last weekend in September.
“During the fall show, I think everyone is in the holiday mindset because we have a lot of Christmas-themed items on display,” said Thomas.
But there will be plenty to do this weekend, with crafters, food for almost every appetite, and live entertainment at the Coffee House of Occoquan.
To get the fair, it’s best to use one of the many shuttle buses that will serve nearby commuter lots every 15 to 20 minutes.
Fair goers can park in the Old Hechinger’s Commuter lot at Gordon Boulevard (Va. 123) and Old Bridge Road, the commuter lot just off Interstate 95 at mile post 160, the parking lot at the Vulcan quarry in Lorton, or at the Tacketts Mill Shopping Center in Lake Ridge.
The free show hours are Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
