CASTILE N.Y. — The ACWC will present the 44th annual Letchworth Arts & Crafts Show & Sale on Columbus Day weekend.
As one of the top 100 classic art festivals in the USA, this show continues to attract a large audience as it is considered to be a prime family-friendly destination. Make plans now to visit this “State of the Arts” event on Oct. 12, 13, and 14.
Enjoy the creativity of some of the country’s finest visual and performing artists, artisans, and crafts people, as well as a vast array of traditional and unique foods. LACS is held at the Highbanks Recreation Area of Letchworth State Park, known as the “Grand Canyon of the East,” and voted the #1 state park in the US in 2015. The stunning venue is a key component that sets this festival apart from all others.
The ambience created by spectacular canyon views and peak fall foliage throughout the park is unparalleled. The festival could be considered the premier holiday shopping opportunity of 2019 for you, your friends, and family. Choose from some of the best pottery, paintings, quilts, fiber arts, handcrafted jewelry, photography, furniture, decorative painting, dried floral arrangements, packaged specialty foods, and so much more.
Over 300 artisans display their wares, along with food vendors, live entertainment, and other fun activities for the entire family.
Included in the entertainment lineup this year is Trilogy, the Upstate New York Folk Group, the 3D Line Dancers (on Sunday), The WANDERING FLIBBERTIGGIBBIT from Shake on the Lake, and much more. Parents are invited to visit the expanded KIDS ZONE toward the rear of the festival, where kids’ faces and nails are transformed into works of art. Most performances are scheduled for 1 pm each day.
Admission to the show is free with a $10 per car entry fee to the park.
A shuttle bus will run from the old Champion Factory parking lot in Perry to the festival on Saturday only between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm. This free shuttle service is made possible by a sponsorship from Sinclair Pharmacy, a medical retail store of J Rutowski And Sons Inc. located in Warsaw, NY.
Special thank you to Sam Gully, owner of Family Furniture located in Perry, NY for his continued generosity to the ACWC, by offering FREE access to, and use of the parking lot for many years.
