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 Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, 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 curtesy of Samuel Tambe Band (Saturday), Joe & Denise, a jazz trio (Sunday), fresh popped kettle corn, maple cotton candy, and food trucks, all surrounded by pumpkins, corn stalks and the changing colors on the Campus grounds.
“Fall is such a special season in Western New York,” says Roycroft Campus Corporation 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 M&T Bank Visitor Center at the Power House will also be open all weekend featuring 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 Artist Wing 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 655-0261 or visit www.roycroftcampuscorp.com.
