Join the Carpenter Museum and local vendors for our annual celebration of handcrafts and artistry. This event is free to enter and free to park. All vendor and raffle proceeds benefit the Carpenter Museum.
About the Event.
The Crafters’ Marketplace is a beloved, jury-selected craft show that has been a highlight of the South-Eastern Massachusetts Fall season for over 46 years. Held in the historic Rehoboth Village, the event spans three easily walkable locations: the Carpenter Museum, the Rehoboth Congregational Church Hall, and Goff Hall at the Blanding Public Library.
Admission and parking are free, making it an accessible and enjoyable outing for all. A raffle is held on the day of the show, featuring unique items generously donated by participating vendors. All proceeds from the vendor fee and raffle support the Carpenter Museum and its mission to offer educational programs, research opportunities, and community enrichment in Rehoboth and beyond.
