About the event

Market Day Craft Fair in Fishkill
Come for the masterful crafts and stay for lunch, made-to-order apple fritters, and a tour of the Van Wyck Homestead Museum - a Revolutionary War site. Supporting the Van Wyck Homestead Museum is a meaningful way to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War!

The Market Day Craft Fair in Fishkill's rain date is Sunday, October 12th.

Market Day Craft Fair at the Van Wyck Homestead Museum is a modern-day take on old-time markets. In the colonial era, market days provided an opportunity for craftspeople, farmers, and friends to gather for fellowship and stock up on essential goods. The Fishkill Historical Society will use funds raised from the fair for the upkeep of the c.1732 Van Wyck Homestead Museum.
You are sure to find treasures among the over 25 Arts and Crafts vendors, featuring pressed flower gifts, wooden items, resin art, pottery, jewelry, beautifully painted planter pots, wreaths, soaps, candles, knit clothing, quilted bags, and home decor.

Fishkill Historical Society volunteers will operate concession stands offering lunch and dessert to visitors. Concessions include homemade soups, chili, baked goods, made-to-order apple fritters, and hot dogs. The Van Wyck Homestead Museum’s gift shop will be out on the grounds with t-shirts, tri-corn hats, mob caps, and raffle tickets for local restaurant gift cards.

We have invited musician Steve Kelman, who recently released an album titled "Up From Water." Steve spends a lot of time in the Hudson Valley bringing a festive atmosphere to events by performing an eclectic mix of blues, bluegrass, folk, country, and rock.

In addition to housing the Van Wyck Family for several generations, the homestead played a significant role during the Revolutionary War, serving as the headquarters for the officers of the Fishkill Supply Depot. The depot supported the operations of the Continental Army and the New York State militia throughout the Revolutionary War. Maintaining this historic site to tell the story of Fishkill is the mission of the historical society.

The Fishkill Historical Society is a 100% volunteer-run educational organization. Many volunteer opportunities at the museum can utilize the talents of our community members. Docents volunteer to welcome visitors to the museum or serve as tour guides to share its story. There’s a lot of upkeep needed at the museum, including cleaning and maintenance work inside and outside of the museum. Support from the community is needed for the Van Wyck Homestead Museum to stand for another 300 years.
