DOWNINGTOWN

Downingtown Friends launched this event 50 years ago. It’s evolved to emphasize local, handmade, and inter-generational, with a community picnic vibe. The Meeting donates 60% of its net proceeds from the fair to non-profits. (Ask me if you’d like last year’s list.)

 

Fair goers find vendors throughout the property.  There’s home-made lunch and baked goods, live music, an attic sale, Kid’s Corner (free), hay wagon ride, face painting, curated Greenery, silent auction.  Part tented, part indoors, it’s rain or shine.

A few logistics:  The fair is rain or shine (sorry, no refunds).  Vendors are expected to stay all day.  For safety, driving is not permitted on the property during the fair.  Free parking is available across the street.

 

MARKETING

We encourage vendors to announce their presence at the fair on their Facebook, Instagram and/or web pages. We promote the event both digitally and with print copy.  On the day of the fair, we highlight each vendor in a brochure distributed at the ticket booth.
 

Fair objectives

• Unique event for our neighbors of all ages

• Crafters and proprietor vendors; no corporate booths
