Annual Waterford Fair – A Magical Place for Children

Annual Waterford Fair – A Magical Place for Children

The Waterford Fair is the oldest juried crafts fair in Virginia and four-time winner Loudoun Convention & Visitors Association (Visit Loudoun) Best Event of the Year. View a video  about the fair. In addition to historic homes open for tour, 155 juried heritage craftspeople (many nationally known) provide hands-on demonstrations, entertainers provide continuous traditional music and dance, Colonial and Civil War-era militia encamp and demonstrate, and there are children's activities throughout the weekend.  The proceeds from the Fair are used to carry out the Waterford Foundation's mission of education and preservation.

Many of the artisans' demonstrations of their crafts will especially delight children, who might help make a clay pot or a candle, take a lesson from a sword-master, or be enchanted by a magician or charmed by an organ grinder, peer into a real one-room schoolhouse (used until 1957), or ride a country wagon filled with hay. It is entertainment with a purpose: the historic crafts demonstrated, the music played, the military re-enactors, and of course the setting in beautifully preserved Waterford village all bring alive the history of an early American village for children.
