Champlain Valley Craft Show & Antique Expo Returns October 16–18
Handmade artistry, specialty foods and timeless finds in Essex Junction
The Champlain Valley Craft Show & Antique Expo returns to the Champlain Valley Exposition on Friday, October 16, Saturday, October 17, and Sunday, October 18, 2026.
Voted Best Craft Fair in Vermont by Seven Days readers in the 2026 Seven Daysies awards, this beloved autumn tradition brings together more than 150 booths of juried arts, crafts, specialty foods and antiques during Vermont’s fall foliage season.
Visitors can meet talented regional artisans, shop American-made gifts and home décor, and watch live craft demonstrations. Handmade offerings include jewelry, pottery, woodwork, textiles, artwork and more, alongside a variety of specialty foods.
Two shows for the price of one! The craft show takes place in Expo South, while the Antique Expo fills the Blue Ribbon Pavilion with antiques, collectibles and vintage décor. The buildings are connected by an indoor hallway, making it easy to explore both shows.
Admission is $12 for ages 15 and older. Children 14 and under are admitted free, and one admission is valid for all three days.
The event is held indoors, rain, snow or shine, with acres of free parking.
