The Show
With over 35 years of history, the Apple Harvest Craft Show has become a beloved autumn tradition drawing thousands to Meaford. Nearly 200 carefully juried artisans fill the Meaford Community Centre and Curling Club with original, handcrafted work that simply cannot be found in retail stores.
Many vendors demonstrate their craft throughout the weekend — watch potters at the wheel, jewellers crafting pieces, and artisans creating live before your eyes. Take custom orders home with you; many makers accept commissions during craft show weekend.
💚 Community Impact: Since 1983, proceeds from the Apple Harvest Craft Show have supported over $800,000 in donations to local projects, making this show a celebration of both artistry and community giving.
