Each year on the first weekend in October, Visit Freeport brings together over 225 of the best New England artists, makers and local food producers for a three-day festival throughout downtown Freeport, Maine.

In addition to browsing local art, join us for three days of live music. There are also plenty of free activities for kids from make ‘n take crafts, to scavenger hunts and more. And, thanks to our generous sponsors, it’s all FREE!
