Maker Festivals featuring Bead Fest returns to Lancaster, PA August 1 – August 3, 2025. We will once again be welcoming the Fiber Arts community, too! Our festival lineup will have thousands of fiber artists and jewelry makers! We created Maker Festivals to answer the need of the cross-crafter, including diverse Marketplace and the ability to take classes across a variety of techniques and skill levels. Pre-festival workshops will be held July 30–31. Workshops will continue and the Marketplace will be open August 1–3.
