Sunday, November 17th the 36th annual Waldorf Fair is back, and better than ever! The joyous mood, creative crafts, artisan vendors, fun activities, and welcoming community of the Fair attracts hundreds of families from in and around the entire Greater Baltimore area.
The Waldorf Fair is the Parents Association's most significant fundraising event of the year. It is a celebration of our community, local Baltimore artisans and small businesses, as well as an opportunity for our school to showcase its beautiful campus and unique Waldorf Festival life.
Guests arrive with a sense of joy and belonging, and depart with a feeling of wonder, several one-of-a-kind handmade treasures, and wonderful memories. All are welcome!
Entry is free to enjoy vendor shopping, toddler Storytime, live music, music petting zoo, as well as a chance to explore our indoor and outdoor classrooms and play spaces. Tickets or a Punch Pass will be needed to partake in the many make-and-take crafts and activities at the fair, which range from 3-10 tickets in price.
The bustling halls tend to be filled with excited children running to and fro. Therefore, we ask that you please leave your strollers at home. It is best to carry or wear your littlest babes. We are happy to provide a Quiet Room and a Toddler Lounge in our Children's Garden for little ones (and parents) that need a break from all of the festivities.
