Here at WheatonArts we are getting excited for the annual Festival of Fine Craft, scheduled for October 4-5, 2025. This is our premier and award-winning annual event, featuring more than 125 artists and exhibitors, new and unique crafts, live demonstrations, hands-on family activities, entertainment, wonderful regional food, and more! Please help us make the Festival of Fine Craft successful once again this year! Every year, the Festival depends on the help of more than 150 generous volunteers who help to make this exciting event run smoothly.
In return for at least 4 hours of donated time, each volunteer will receive a participant badge (good for both days) and two additional complimentary festival passes for friends or family members. Continue volunteering throughout the year, and your time counts towards a free Make-Your-Own-Experience, offered when 100 hours of Volunteer Time at WheatonArts is reached! If you are a student volunteer, you will receive a letter confirming your hours for service learning/clubs.

Breakfast/Lunch Assistance
