Exmore Fall Festival

Exhibition space for the Fall Festival is open to artisans in all categories across Virginia and beyond our region. This includes visual artists working in the full range of mediums and makers of every type, whether professional, hobbyist or beginner.

This event is a new, bigger and more action filled iteration of the Artisans Festival previously held in the Town Park which drew more than 500 attendees in its first year.

This is a “Rain or Shine” event. The Town is closing off Main Street between Occohannock Road and Willis Wharf Road along with partial closures of other streets to provide ample room for attendees to wander and explore exhibitor booths and Exmore shops.
