Christmas Arts & Crafts festival turns 25 ahead of holidays

A quarter century of arts and crafts will be celebrated in the Festival City.

Rotary Club of Stratford is hosting their 25th anniversary Christmas Arts & Crafts Festival from Nov. 13 to 15 at the Rotary Complex. 

Club member Kathy Beauregard said it’s a significant milestone, with all profits going to community initiatives including Rotary Hospice, Rotary Respite House, the mental health wing of Stratford General Hospital and the library on wheels program from Stratford Public Library.

Beauregard added 89 vendors are part of the festival, a mix of new and familiar ones.

The event includes food, hands-on crafts and activities, carolers and photos with Santa Claus.

Admission is by donation.

The festival runs from 5 to 9 p.m. on the 13th, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the 14th, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the 15th.
