Occoquan, Va. –– If you’re a fan of, great music, and fun, and craft shows, get ready for Occoquan’s annual Spring Craft Fair.
This year, craft fair will be held on June 2 and 3, and has been a fixture in the town for the past 25 years. This rain or shine event is expected to bring more than 25,000 people into the town nestled along the Occoquan River just north of Woodbridge. The fair is also expected to draw 200 to 300 local vendors selling their craft items.
In addition to crafters, local merchants who work in Occoquan, food vendors and entertainment will be on hand.
The Director of the Occoquan Craft Fairs, Pat Bowen, looks forward to the interactions with locals and merchants at this year’s craft fair.
“We all love the atmosphere and friendships that is made through the years with the crafters returning year after year – and always a new face every show. It is a chance for the merchants to gain new business with the amount of people that pass through town each show,” Bowen said.
The craft fair can also bring the community together.
“I look forward to the shows each year as do most of the merchants. I also think it is a good thing to see the towns people come together all working [they all volunteer] for the same cause,” said Bowen.
This year, the craft fair will be open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. All of the visitors will be guided to park at nearby commuter lots specifically designated for fair parking. From there, shuttle buses into taking visitors in and out of the town will also be available.
