Hockessin Art Fest coming up!
Come see me in February in Hockessin
Hi All!
Soon the wonderful Art Fest at Hockessin Memorial Hall will be upon us! I have plenty of wonderful new work available for you to see. It is a rare show in which you feel like you are in an actual Art Gallery. If there is something you want to be sure I bring, let me know. There will also be some wonderful new -comers this year. Come Friday night for the lovely reception and have some tasty treats and a little something from the bar.

The Hockessin Art Festival is an annual fundraising effort to benefit the Wilmington & Western Railroad. More than 20 local artists will be displaying and selling limited edition prints, original watercolors, oils, acrylics, pastels, sculpture, fine jewelry, mosaics and more! 30% of all art sales go directly to supporting the Wilmington & Western.
The Wilmington & Western is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, and although we receive a significant portion of our income from ticket sales, we cannot rely on passenger revenue alone. The income raised from the Art Festival supports our train operations, restoration projects, track maintenance and much more.
While attending the Art Festival, take a break from shopping by riding the Art Festival Express. Our historic train will depart from outside the Art Festival, and our friendly train crew will take you on a 40-minute round-trip through the towns of Yorklyn and Ashland.

The 116th Arden Fair - August 31st, 2024
Find me at Peddlers, Potions and Practitioners in front of the Buzz Ware
14th annual Holistic Marketplace
Come visit my booth this year at the wonderful Arden Fair! I will have over 80 cards to choose from as well as prints and originals! Inside the Buzz Ware Building, you could win some free notecards from me and other prizes from assorted Vendors!
Every year (well, with the exception of 2020, COVID shut down the Fair and mostly everything), the Arden Fair and Antiques Market is held the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend.
The Fair features children's games and rides, handmade crafts by over 100 vendors (many of whom are local), an Antiques Market, used books (inside Gild Hall), plants, live music in the Shady Grove, delicious food and drink, an art exhibit, and more. Click Here for information on parking for the Arden Fair.
Most of the event is outdoors which includes macadam, grassy hills and knolls, and the Shady Grove, and there are two indoor exhibit venues - Gild Hall and the Buzz Ware Village Center. There is a Food Court. Also, food and refreshments are offered for sale down in the Shady Grove, plus free live music all day long.
Friendly pets are welcome but the owners need to be aware that they are responsible for the cleanup of their pets. Pets must be on a leash at all times. The Fair has many tantalizing smells and sights – which could prove very stressful to dogs. No dogs are allowed on shuttle buses except guide dogs (a.k.a. "seeing-eye" dogs).
SHUTTLE BUS PARKING
There is plenty of free parking at the YMCA Hanby Outdoor Center with shuttle buses every few minutes. Location: Parking for shuttle buses is on Chestnut Road, between Marsh and Darley Roads, just north of Arden. NOTE: No dogs are allowed on shuttle buses except guide dogs (a.k.a. "seeing-eye" dogs). Handicapped guests may be dropped off at the Orleans bus stop but all cars must be parked off-site.
NOTE: Please be respectful of the YMCA Hanby Outdoor Center grounds! In the event weather conditions prevent our use of the Center (wet grounds) we highly recommend that you use alternative transportation (Uber, Lyft, public transportation, etc.). Unfortunately, we do not currently have an alternative parking solution. We will try as best as possible to provide up-to-date parking information on this page.

PLEASE BE KIND TO OUR NEIGHBORS!
Arden, Ardentown, and Ardencroft (collectively 'the Ardens') is a residential neighborhood. Parking on the streets of the Ardens is strongly discouraged so it's best to use the YMCA Hanby Outdoor Center. Fairgoers have been known to park on March Road and other local roads outside of the Ardens. Many Fairgoers use Uber or Lyft thereby avoiding parking problems (taking one of the services also lets you fully enjoy the Shady Grove beer garden! wink-wink)
Just a few of the Fair Highlights include...
• Free Admission
• Free & Shuttle Buses from the Hanby YMCA Camp
• Over 100 Craft Vendors
• Music all day in the Shady Grove
• Food Court
• Used Book Sale in the Gild Hall
• 2024 Collectable Fair Tee Shirt
• Backstage Gallery
• Antiques Market
• Children’s Games, Rides, and Face painting
• Gardener’s Gild Plant Sale
• Holistic Expo at the Buzz Ware Village Center ($2 Suggested Donation)
