Summer Vibes + Handmade Finds = Craft Expo is Almost Here!

The countdown is on! One of the most anticipated summer events on the Connecticut shoreline returns: the Guilford Craft Expo, taking place July 18–20, 2025 on the scenic Guilford Green.

Presented by the Guilford Art Center, this beloved annual event features more than 170 of the country’s finest contemporary craft artists, showcasing and selling their work in a wide range of media including jewelry, ceramics, glass, wearable and decorative fiber, wood, painting, photography, leather, metal, and more. The full list of participating artists is now available on the Guilford Craft Expo website HERE.

the Guilford Craft Expo is more than just shopping—it’s a festive summer celebration with live music, family art activities, food trucks, a silent auction and a chance to meet the artists behind the work.

Make a day (or a weekend!) of it by exploring the beautiful and historic town of Guilford. Stroll the Green, tour local cultural landmarks and museums, and enjoy the many unique shops and excellent restaurants that give this shoreline town its special charm.
