The COVID-19 pandemic has upended nearly every aspect of our lives since early 2020. Now, more than two years since the first cases arrived in New Jersey, the Haddonfield Crafts and Fine Art Festival is set to return for its 28th year. 

The free, two-day event used to bring more than 100,000 visitors to Kings Highway in Haddonfield each summer, and though it's hard to tell the impact that the pandemic hiatus has had on the festival, Haddonfield residents and art lovers making the trip next weekend can expect pretty big crowds.

Artists from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia and Maryland will exhibit a wide range of work, including ceramics, glass, jewelry, wood, fiber, paper, drawings, paintings, photography, and wearable art. 

Downtown Haddonfield will be transformed into a wide festival corridor, with outdoor cafes and artist tents all weekend long.
