This regional festival brings together New England’s finest fiber producers, artisans and crafters for a day of demonstrations and a chance to shop directly from the artists. The event also features family fun, including old-fashioned games, children’s crafts, and performances by the Ladies of the Rolling Pin dancers and Atwater-Donnelly, a traditional American folk music duo. Watch a professional sheep shearer at work on Coggeshall’s flock of Gulf Coast Natives, one of the heritage breeds the farm helps to preserve. The Rhode Island Spinners’ Guild will be out in force with rows of spinning wheels converting fresh wool into workable fiber. Coggeshall’s educators will be mingling with the crowd, dressed in authentic 18th-century clothing. All ages can participate in a “rope walk,” where many hands work together to create rope from scratch. Food will be provided by The Gilded Tomato, which produces wood-fired pizzas and other culinary delights inside copper-domed ovens handcrafted by a Maine artisan.

Admission is $7 for adults; $5 for children under 12, seniors 62+ and active-duty military. Members of Coggeshall Farm Museum are free. Parking is free.
