Enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of autumn on the Roycroft Campus, a National Historic Landmark in the heart of picturesque East Aurora. On Oct. 5 & 6, the Campus will host a Fall Fest featuring a diverse group of local and regional artists, antique vendors and cultural groups. Throughout the weekend guests can also visit with animals from Thistle Creek Alpacas and take part in kids’ activities. Other highlights include live music courtesy of Off The Grid (acoustic classic rock) on Saturday and the Samuel Tambe Band (soulful 70’s covers) on Sunday, fresh popped kettle corn, maple syrup slushies, and food trucks, all surrounded by pumpkins, corn stalks and the changing colors on the Campus Grounds.
“It’s wonderful to be in East Aurora in the fall,” says Roycroft Campus Program Director Alan Nowicki. “We are excited to celebrate local artists while being surrounded by the beauty of nature at this free event.”
As always during your Campus visit, make sure to stop by the Copper Shop Gallery which features the work of over 100 local, national and international artists as well as a variety of unique gifts and home décor. The Visitor Center at the Power House will also be open all weekend featuring more artists, and historic exhibits which provide a glimpse into the rich history of the Roycroft. Lastly, don’t miss out on visiting the Castiglia Art Center and Press Room in the Print Shop, and the Furniture Shop which houses antiques and additional art shops.
Roycroft Campus Fall Fest will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and is free and open to the public. For further information on this and other events on the Roycroft Campus, please call (716) 655-0261 or visit www.roycroftcampuscorp.com.
