Live Music & Food Trucks: The Guilford town green is one of the prettiest spots in New England! Enjoy the view when you take a break from your shopping to grab a snack or meal in the shaded food truck area. Local bands and soloists will perform throughout the weekend, creating a festive and relaxing atmosphere.

Family-Friendly Activities: Bring the kids to the family art tent to create together. Art supplies and projects will be available to give little ones creative time. There will also be a kids scavenger hunt that makes exploring the entire show an adventure for everyone!
