The Festival of Fine Craft , now in its 26th year, returns to WheatonArts on Oct. 4–5, featuring more than 150 juried artists.

The two-day event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine. Visitors will find paintings, ceramics, woodwork, jewelry and wearable art for sale.

In addition to the art market, the weekend includes live music, food trucks, a beer and wine garden, and hands-on activities for kids. Families can try paper crafts, chalk art and build scarecrows at the “Collaborate + Create” stations.

Demonstrations will showcase glassblowing, chair caning, woodturning, pottery and weaving. The annual glass pumpkin patch will return, with hundreds of hand-blown pumpkins for purchase. Proceeds support WheatonArts’ educational programs.
