The 81st Annual Waterford Fair, a juried artisan exhibition with demonstrations 

and retail sales, is held in the National Historic Landmark village of Waterford. This unique setting affords the 85 heritage and contemporary artisans accepted a beautiful backdrop to demonstrate, sell their products and cultivate lasting relationships with loyal buyers.

 

The 15,000+ Fair visitors enjoy strolling the streets of the Landmark, taking in the history of this 18th c. Quaker village, touring historic homes, learning about the Artisans and their work, and purchasing their wares. Fair organizers cater to all artistic preferences and budgets of the attendees. The result is a tasteful selection of high-quality, handmade items juried in eleven media categories.

 

Founded in 1733, Waterford is situated in western Loudoun County, DC’s wine country. For the past twelve years Loudoun County, Virginia has been named the #1 county in America for the highest median household income. In 2024 income was reported to be $173,655 according to U.S. Census Bureau reports. The second highest rated county, Fairfax, is our easterly neighbor.
