This lively outdoor marketplace brings together artisans, makers, food vendors, entertainers, and small businesses for a dynamic festival experience surrounded by waterfront charm and a welcoming community atmosphere.

Visitors will enjoy exploring a wide variety of handcrafted goods, original artwork, fashion pieces, home décor, artisan crafts, specialty foods, and refreshing beverages. The beautiful lakeside setting creates a relaxed yet energetic environment, making it an ideal destination for families, shoppers, and visitors looking to enjoy a memorable summer weekend.

For vendors, the fair offers an excellent opportunity to showcase products in one of Stratford’s most picturesque and high-traffic seasonal locations. With strong attendance expected throughout the weekend, vendors benefit from excellent visibility, direct customer engagement, and meaningful opportunities to grow brand recognition and increase sales.

The event layout is designed to encourage steady foot traffic and maximize exposure for every vendor along the lakeside route.
