Market Day Craft Fair returns to the Van Wyck Homestead Museum in Fishkill on Saturday,
October 10! Browse handcrafted treasures from more than 25 artisans, enjoy homemade
lunch and hot made-to-order apple fritters, listen to live music, tour a genuine
Revolutionary War site, and see the firing of the museum’s new Revolutionary War howitzer
cannon.
The event’s rain date is Sunday, October 11.
Inspired by the community markets of colonial America, Market Day brings craftspeople,
neighbors, and visitors together on the historic grounds of the c. 1732 Van Wyck
Homestead Museum. More than 25 arts and crafts vendors will offer unique handmade
goods, including pottery, jewelry, woodworking, pressed-flower gifts, resin art, wreaths,
soaps, candles, knitwear, quilted bags, painted planters, and home décor.
Come hungry! Fishkill Historical Society volunteers will serve homemade soups, chili, hot
dogs, baked goods, and made-to-order apple fritters. The museum gift shop will also be
outdoors with T-shirts, tri-corn hats, mob caps, and raffle tickets for local restaurant gift
cards.
Musician Steve Kelman, who recently released his album Up From Water, will add to the
festive atmosphere with an eclectic mix of blues, bluegrass, folk, country, and rock.
