Enjoy autumn and treat yourself to an enriching experience at Sugarloaf Crafts Festivals in Timonium. The first fall show will be at the Maryland State Fairgrounds from Friday, October 12 through Sunday, October 14th. Come out and say hello to your favorite artists and meet artists new to the Sugarloaf Community. They can’t wait to see you and show you their new and creative designs!

Sugarloaf Craft Festivals are a delightful immersion in the work of carefully selected artisans who have spent years perfecting their crafts. Goods sold here embody both beauty and utility and can be expected to last for a very long time. You’ll find whimsical and functional designs made out of wood, stone, metal, fabric, clay and more.

If Sugarloaf had a theme song it could be “Made to Last” since many items are durable enough to last a lifetime and maybe even be passed down to the next generation. Many artists repurpose used material into useful kitchen tools or household items. Purchases here support sustainable production and provide the recipient with a quality instrument or home decor piece.

Plan your holiday parties while sampling the array of rich creamy cheeses, small batch jams and zesty spice and dressing mixes from the specialty food vendors. Our gourmet food vendors invite you to sample the different flavors and take home your favorites.

As always there will be several ongoing craft demonstrations going on throughout the festival. Watch the artists transform raw materials into beautiful artwork and functional tools in a matter of minutes. Middle Earth Studios invites children of all ages to join their costumed productions.

Nearby hotels have special rates for Sugarloaf guests and discounted show tickets are available online. Plan your visit in advance by perusing the artist listings above or pick up your festival guide at the entrance.

The show is conveniently located just north of Baltimore in Timonium, MD.
