The Apple Harvest Craft Show has become one of the largest in southern Ontario, attracting close to 200 artisans and crafters with a long waiting list wanting to participate. With a juried group of unique and talented craftspeople, you’ll discover a wide variety of creative work with little duplication.
Shop for yourself or get a head-start on Christmas shopping for unique and special gifts. Come early while the selection is best as many of the items are handcrafted and one-of-a-kind.
Each year we introduce many new crafters, so the show has something for everyone. You’ll find hand-thrown pottery, wooden games and toys, photography, candles, quilting, stained glass, wood working , high-end fashions, leather work, stuffed animals, painting, spinning and weaving and handmade jewellery, to mention just a few. Some of the artisans will demonstrate their work during the show, and many take custom orders during Craft Show weekend.
Make a day or weekend of it, and come and visit the Apple Harvest Craft Show and Scarecrow Invasion in Meaford. The harvest of Georgian Bay apples will be well under way, and the beauty of the fall colours along the shores of Georgian Bay and the Beaver Valley will enhance your drive. Be sure to stop by one of the many apple stands and pick up delicious Georgian Bay apples right from the orchard.
Proceeds from the annual Apple Harvest Craft Show are donated to a number of community projects.
