The 44th Annual Roseland Cottage Fine Arts and Crafts Festival is one of the leading juried fine arts and crafts shows in New England. This two-day event, held October 17-18, 2026, features 180 artisans exhibiting jewelry, woodworking, food products, pottery, glass, paintings, clothing, metalwork, and more. The festival includes live music, food vendors, and first floor tours of Roseland Cottage.

All products must be original, hand-crafted, and well executed. Historic New England does not accept AI, commercial goods for resale, kits, imported, or consigned goods.
