In addition to great shopping, this diverse experience includes small batch gourmet specialties, Hudson Valley distillery and winery tastings, and interactive craft demonstrations (like canoe building, letterpress, silk painting, loom weaving, hand-building pottery, metal welding, furniture finishing, gourd carving).

There will also be fun family activities (interactive puppet theater, face painting, balloon animals, and stilt walkers) and a special interior design booth by the Kingston Design Connection featuring work made by the artists at the show!
