Hi folks! If you are looking for something fun and interesting to do this weekend, take the short drive to Remsen, N.Y. for the annual Barn Festival of the Arts.
For two days, this little town in upstate N.Y transforms into one of the premier arts and craft shows in the country. There are over 200 vendors, so you're sure to find something you like. And food? Yeah, there is all kinds of awesome eats. There is also all kinds of entertainment to keep you...well... entertained!
I will be there with a great selection of awesome cutting boards, cheese slicers, and beautiful shark-hootery boards (charcuterie is hard to spell)😁
The weather forecast looks like two outstanding days. So come on up to Remsen and enjoy! We will be in spots 275-276, so stop by and say Hi!
The Annual Remsen Barn Festival of the Arts will be held September 27-28, 2025; Sat. 10-6; and Sun. 10-5. Admission to the Festival is free and there is plenty of parking. No pets allowed. Remsen's Main Street is closed to vehicles and transformed into a shopping, eating, and entertainment adventure. More than 225 quality artists and crafters offer art, jewelry, textiles, fashion accessories, woodcrafts, soaps, pottery, holiday items, furniture, glass, candles, and more. A variety of food vendors offer everything from hearty meals to sweet snacks.
From its humble beginnings, when the Festival included tours of local barns and handmade quilts, it has become one of the northeast’s premier festivals.
