NEWPORT, N.H. — The annual Apple Pie Crafts Fair will be held on Saturday, Aug. 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Newport Town Common. This event is free and will be held rain or shine.
Did you know that the Apple Pie Crafts Fair is one of New England’s longest running craft fairs? Every year, more than 5,000 New Englanders make their way to Newport from all around the state of New Hampshire, and New England to enjoy more than 130 booths of handmade crafts, including pottery, woodworking, glass, fiber arts and more. The fair also features live music, food vendors and the famous apple pie contest and sale.
Do you have an award-winning apple pie recipe? Put it to the test at the favorite Apple Pie Contest. The only rules stipulate that the main ingredient of pies must be apples, and that only the first 12 pies entered will be considered for judging in the contest. There is no entry fee, but please only one entry per family.
Pies of all kinds are baked by members of the Arts Center community and sold to benefit Arts Center programs. Donations of all kinds of pies — not just apple — are accepted. Other fruit pies and gluten free options are always very popular. The pie drop-offs are Friday, Aug. 22 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Library Arts Center Gallery and Saturday, Aug. 23 from 8 to 9 a.m. at the big red and white tent on the Newport Town Common.
The Apple Pie Crafts Fair is proudly presented by the Library Arts Center Gallery & Studio — a nonprofit community arts organization in the heart of downtown Newport, New Hampshire. Proceeds from Fair booth sales and the pie sale benefit the Arts Center’s exhibits and programs.
