Set for May 23, 2026
The Artisans Fair is an invitation-only show held annually on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Our exacting standards make this show one of the best in the area, and it heralds the beginning of the summer season at the beach. Proceeds from the event benefit the South Coastal DE AARP Scholarship Fund, which provides college scholarships for deserving high school seniors and adult students in our area.
The 2026 Artisans Fair will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Lord Baltimore Elementary School on Route 26 in Ocean View, DE.
The show features an array of artisans from various media: fine art, photography, jewelry, glass, metal, fiber, pottery, wood and mixed media. Both inside and outside exhibit spaces are available.
Other features of the show include a baked goods sale, a raffle of items donated by the artisans, a 50-50 cash raffle, and an auction for a round of golf. Admission to the show and parking are free. A shuttle service is provided to and from an offsite lot for overflow parking.
An outdoor Farmers Market is also offered on the grounds of the Fair.
