Dear Craftspeople,
We
are planning the 38th Annual Apple Pie Craft Fair to
be held rain or shine, Saturday, August 27 from 9 am – 3 pm on the Newport Town Common. As you

Arts Center. Booth fees raise help to raise much-needed funds for exhibits, classes,
and programs. We hope you will join us! The Apple Pie Craft Fair, combined with
the Richards Free Library Book Festival attracts 2000+ people to Newport from
a wide range of surrounding communities. The fair features an apple pie contest & sale,
live music throughout the day, and food vendors. It is open to both amateur
and professional artists and craftspeople and will provide an opportunity to

Please inquire about non-handcrafted items and booths for non-profit organizations.
There are very small quotas for each of these categories, as to maintain the

vendors.
Live animals are NOT permitted for sale.
