Rotary Craft Fair Information for Vendors

Hello Crafters and Artists,

Welcome to our Framingham Rotary Spring Craft Fair scheduled for April 6, 2024.  This event is the continuation of our 10 successful Spring Craft Fair events with over 100 crafters and artists and more than 1,000 attendees participating. The Spring Fair will be held in the spacious and centrally located Keefe Technical High School in Framingham.  Proceeds will benefit the Rotary Club’s mission to meet local needs through funding of services and projects and worldwide needs through support of Rotary International Humanitarian efforts.  The Framingham Rotary Spring Craft Fair is not a juried event but is intended for artists and crafters.  Artists and crafters with similar offerings will be reviewed and might be limited.  Register early as the Spring event was sold out.
