Discover Maine through its makers during Maine Craft Weekend!

Join us for Maine Craft Weekend, the annual statewide celebration of Maine’s vibrant craft community. For one inspiring weekend, hundreds of craft artists, galleries, and organizations open their doors, inviting you behind the scenes to experience the people, places, and processes that bring handmade work to life.

Create your own adventure with a self-guided tour featuring open studios, live demonstrations, exhibitions, pop-up markets, craft shows, galleries, and special events happening across the state. Meet the makers, watch traditional and contemporary craft techniques in action, hear the stories behind the work, and shop one-of-a-kind handmade pieces directly from the artists.

Whether you’re planning a day trip or a weekend getaway, Maine Craft Weekend is your chance to explore new communities, support local artists, and experience the creativity that makes Maine unique.

Events are being added now through September! Visit MaineCraftWeekend.org to explore the interactive event map, submit your own event, and start planning your route.
