Yankee Peddler Festival

The Yankee Peddler Festival is an authentic pioneer world with none of the hustle-bustle, whining and whirring, honking and squawking, and buzzing feedback of our modern world. It lets you sample and share in the pure beauty of human inspiration and in the pleasures of a simply, uncluttered existence. Three Weekends. 10:30am – 6:00pm.

Step back in time 200 years to join hundreds of artists, crafters, entertainers, and food purveyors in the special and refreshing pioneer world of the Yankee Peddler. Called the “Fourteenth Colony” by Western Reserve Magazine and featured in travel guides, including the Rand-McNally Ultimate Road Atlas and Vacation Guide, the Yankee Peddler Festival is nestled in 75 acres of lovely wooded glades. Visitors find rustic shops set up by master artists and crafters who not only sell their wares, but demonstrate how they transform inspiration into objects of beauty. Professional entertainers from traveling theatrical groups through magicians to musicians perform around every bend. And the Yankee Peddler food purveyors have become renowned in their own right for foods grilled and barbecued over open fires and for freshly made desserts and beverages.
