The Monson Arts Council's 30th Annual Holiday Craft Fair will open on Saturday, November 29th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and continue on Sunday, November 30th from 12 noon until 4:30 p.m.

The fair presents 65 artisans and crafters who all feature handcrafted items. The crafters are located in four buildings in a one-block triangle in downtown Monson, MA. (Mass Pike - Exit 8 - Route 32 South). Crafters are set up in Memorial Hall, House of Art, Methodist Church and Universalist Church.

All locations offer a wide variety of gifts, decorations and collectibles, including wooden bowls, bath products, books, candles, dry flowers, clothing, holiday decorations, jewelry, quilts, soft sculpture, wooden toys, hand crafted greeting cards, and much more.

The annual fair is a major fundraiser for the Monson Arts Council as well as several other non-profit groups.

Luncheon will be served both days in Memorial Hall and both Churches.

A Carol Sing will take place in front of Memorial Hall at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 29th. This holiday music precedes Santa's arrival on a fire truck at approximately 4:30 p.m. On Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. the names of children between the ages of 4 to 6 may be deposited in a box in Memorial Hall. One lucky child's name will be drawn to assists Santa in turning on Monson's Christmas lights. Following the lighting, children may meet Santa Claus in person in the Town's Fire Station where cocoa and cookies will be served.

Please Note: The lighting will be Saturday afternoon, and not Sunday afternoon as it has been in previous years.
