ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

About The Festival

We’ve been doing this for a while! This coupon is from 1989 and Debbie Noiseux is still exhibiting her stunning jewelry!

The New England Christmas Festival is an eagerly anticipated annual event that has kicked off the holiday season for 38 years.

350+ American Artisans from all over the country come to display and sell their unique products, all made by hand. For 3 days only shoppers go on a giant treasure hunt to find unique holiday gifts for their loved ones while also tucking away a goodie or two for themselves. They are looking for wacky, contemporary, unusual, "green," gourmet, traditional, personalized, you name it!

There is something for everyone, and in all price ranges. The array of handmade products includes stunning jewelry, seasonal decorations, photography, distinctive home accessories, children's toys and clothes, pet specialties, gifts for the sports minded, specialty foods and much much more.

These are items that will not be found on store shelves, but rather cater to those looking for "something more."

What might I find?

So. Much.

We intentionally don’t publish it all because most of the fun from this event comes from the magic of discovering lots of new and interesting treasures.

That aside, here is an idea of the types of items you can expect to find at the New England Christmas Festival.
