CHESTER, Vt. – The 2022 Chester Festival on the Green will be held rain or shine on Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. both days.

The Chester Festival on The Green is a free outdoor event celebrating Vermont culture, fine art, and authentic craftsmanship. For over 40 years, this annual event has been held as a hallmark kick off to the beginning of fall foliage season here in our Vermont town, where hundreds of people converge on our historic Green from all over New England.

Once again, we’ll be bringing together the best of our local craft and food vendors while highlighting agricultural-themed exhibits in an unforgettable experience of Vermont culture. As you stroll through the center of town, you’ll see the Chester Green lined with vendors making delicious food and offering pottery, fine woodworking, fiber art, jewelry, photography, glass, and much more with something of interest for everyone. Throughout the day we’ll also be hosting tractor rides, scheduled artisan demonstrations, farm games, animal exhibits, apple cider pressing, a hay maze, and lots of family-fun activities.

If you’d like to support our event and are interested in volunteering, we could always use more hands-on-deck. We’re looking for festival ambassadors who can help oversee the farm games, assist in the agricultural demonstrations, pass
