This is a great show with great exhibitors! It offers everything you could possibly want for your home, or office...If you need to find a special gift for someone, this is the place to look. Plus, this show makes an enjoyable way to spend the day. So many vendors with delicious food and beverages available as well.. Not to mention being there beside the beautiful Brandywine River. So relaxing. I have been doing this show since 1982. Must be a good reason why I continue to do it.

I enjoyed the festival. The vendor setup made it easy to move around in the area. The vendors had some really interesting arts and craft, they have so much talent. I just walked through this year but next year I will be prepared.

It was the most beautiful locale for an art festival, for a wedding, for sleeping in a chair. So beautiful. The Arts Festival had so many talented artists, and the food was so good. Definitely will go again next year.
