About the Festival
The Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival is a juried event highlighting many of New England's most skilled creative people. It attracts thousands of visitors who appreciate their fine work. The event is held every September on the weekend after Labor Day. Music and food round out the festival, which is a major fundraiser for Laudholm Trust, the nonprofit that supports the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve.

Call for Volunteers!
The Crafts Festival is back for the 38th year, and we need 180+ volunteers to make it go, go, go! It's just two days, but it means everything. This juried craft fair brings together 150 vendors, 5,000 visitors, and vital financial support for the Wells Reserve at Laudholm.
Can you help? We are most in need of volunteers to:
- Help visitors park their vehicles
- Collect admissions fees
- Sell raffle tickets and memberships
- Greet and sign in volunteers
- Greet and direct visitors
- Watch vendors' booths when they need a break
Volunteers enjoy the Craft Festival for free, a bag lunch, and have a separate check-in and parking area.
Never volunteered before? We need you! Sign up today.
