The countdown is on for the 4th annual Danforth East Arts Fair, which you no doubt know by now will be held in East Lynn Park this weekend! Not only will more than 50 artists be showcasing their wares, but a crack team of craftmaking experts is offering your children the chance to make some of their own — for free, all weekend long.
Whether your kids are interested in jewellery, clay or something in between, the fine folks from the Silly Goose Kids, LucSculpture and Mrs. Darling’s have got you covered. And if they’re the kind of kids who like to make noise (and who doesn’t?), we’ll also be hosting a children’s noisemaker parade on Sunday afternoon to hand out awards to our participating artists.The full schedule appears below. Look for the bright red tents near the path!
The Danforth East Arts Fair runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on September 15 & 16 in East Lynn Park. The fair will feature more than 50 artists, musical performances, children’s crafts, light food fare and much more.
