Kirkridge Retreat Center Announces Its First Annual Winter Craft Fair on December 7, 2025
BANGOR, PA — Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center is delighted to announce its 1st Annual Holiday Winter Craft Fair, taking place December 7, 2025 on the scenic overlook at Turning Point. Guests are invited to enjoy a festive winter afternoon celebrating creativity, community, and the spirit of the season.
Set atop the homelands of the Lenape people, Kirkridge is a place of refuge, rest, and renewal—committed to welcoming people of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities. Nestled among mountain vistas with views of the Delaware River, farmland, forests, and the surrounding ecosystem, Kirkridge is deeply rooted in justice-oriented, peace-centered traditions and in its relationship with the land and local community.
The Winter Craft Fair celebrates this local community by featuring artisan vendors offering holiday gifts ranging from pottery and hand-carved spoons to poetry books, glass nightlights, and photography. Guests can also enjoy hot cider, snacks, music, and the gift of community as they browse one-of-a-kind creations from regional artists.
“Kirkridge has long been a home for creativity, connection, and collective flourishing,” said organizers of the event. “This Craft Fair reflects our commitment to supporting local makers while welcoming neighbors and friends to experience the beauty and warmth of this mountain.”
Vendor Opportunities:
Local artisans interested in hosting a booth are invited to complete a vendor registration form found on our website.
