Festival by the Lake

From Festival by the Lake Website:

Our annual summer Festival takes place along the southeastern shoreline of picturesque Lake Quannapowitt, in Wakefield, Massachusetts; just 10 miles north of Boston.

Crafters, artists, local organizations, live music, and great food comprise the day. The Festival has thrived for over twenty-five years!

The Festival is organized by the WCNA as a fundraiser for its many community projects. All proceeds are used for town improvement projects and community events.

The biggest attraction at the Festival is the sea of tents under which you will find only the best arts and crafts. Every vendor goes through our jurying process to ensure a consistent quality and variety of products. We insist that everything be handmade by the artisans themselves. You will not find imports at our show. You will find one-of-a-kind creations of both esthetic and practical value.

While it is a treat just being in the beautiful park right next to the super play-ground (another WCNA project), children will also enjoy the special activities at the Festival: face-painting, games, and rides.
