Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Millville, New Jersey
WheatonArts is Millville's craft hub, hosting the juried Festival of Fine Craft in October and the medieval Fantasy Faire in June, and the Glasstown Arts District on High Street opens every third Friday. Among its 6 events are also the Cumberland County Fair in July and markets at Captain Joe Buck Park and Three Petals Farm.
Cumberland County Fair
FairHeld each July in Millville, the Cumberland County Fair is the oldest running county fair in New Jersey and features a midway with carnival rides and games, livestock and agricultural exhibits, 4-H activities, and food vendors. Two vendor categories welcome both local artisans and commercial businesses: craft vendors at significantly lower daily rates, and commercial/food vendors at fixed booth fees. The fair welcomes a variety of vendors, food trucks, and crafters. All food vendors require county health department approval. The fair partners with local 4-H clubs and celebrates the leadership and dedication of county youth leaders.
Fantasy Faire
FestivalHeld in Millville in late June, Fantasy Faire is a family-friendly medieval and fantasy festival produced in partnership with Mystic Realms, Ltd. The event unfolds across multiple stages with live performances—sword demonstrations, storytelling, comedy acts, and traditional dance—plus hands-on activities like archery, adventurer training, and fused-glass crafting. Expect more than forty merchant shops throughout the grounds. The day builds to the Tournament of Prosperity at 3pm, a staged combat finale. Vendors and performers should note: this is a story-driven event with a theatrical framework; expect an audience primed for immersive medieval/fantasy experience and character interaction.
