For More Than 50 Years, This Small Town Has Hosted The Longest-Running Craft Festival In New Jersey
Chester is one of New Jersey’s most unique cultural towns. And twice a year, it becomes the hub of New Jersey’s art scene and is visited by craft lovers from around the state – because the craft show in Chester, NJ is easily the state’s best! For fifty years now, art lovers have come to Main Street, which is transformed into a massive hub of tents selling local products, artistic services, and a lot of delicious small-batch goodies to take home! The festival takes place in early summer and early fall, and this year’s fall Chester Craft Show is held on September 9th and 10th. If past pictures of this event are any indication, you’ll want to spend a whole day or two exploring this craft show! I know I always come back with a bag of new items I didn’t know I needed until I saw them!
