FIBER FAIRE
September 26, 2026
10am - 4pm
Here’s a taste of what’s in store at the 2026 Fiber Faire:
- Fiber Arts Demos: With craftspeople, artists, and farmers all over campus, you’ll learn from artisans who make by hand, and may walk away inspired by something new yourself. We’ll have spinners, weavers, dyers, embroidery & more!
Shop: Enjoy our market of artisan goods and handmade items just in time for fall. Buy materials for your own projects and talk to knowledgeable craftspeople.
- Animals: Learn about the life cycle of fiber with the cutest sheep (and maybe a surprise guest) you’ll ever meet—from Sugar Springs Farm.
Fashion Show: Strut your stuff in a pop-up Fashion Show featuring wearable art on the Green at 2pm. Show off your fiber creations, upcycled aesthetic, and fashion do’s, for bragging rights! Everyone welcome to join in the fun!
- Sweet & Salty Eats: Treat yourself with ice cream, popcorn, and more from The Sweet Life Ice Cream Parlor, visiting our campus for the day!
Admission to the Fiber Faire is free and goes on, rain or shine!

POP-UP MAKERS MARKET
Unique crafters, makers, artists, and artisans are invited to show their wares and creations at the Fiber Faire Market. In our first year, we had more than 200 people visit for this free event. Cornish Fest is a community-wide annual event throughout the weekend. Visitors love interactive moments at the market, and we encourage everyone to share their creativity alongside their wares.
