7 Colorful Craft Fairs in the Main Line Area This Summer

This summer, the Main Line region is awash with seasonal events honoring creativity, warm weather and community in the neighborhood.

Nothing is better than buying from and supporting Main Line area vendors. That’s why we’re more than a little excited for the return of summer craft fairs in the region. Why not schedule a weekend trip to one of these local celebrations while the weather is beautiful? Not only can you shop for gifts for upcoming holidays and special occasions, but you very well may leave with a few trinkets for yourself, too.
