Quilters enter their pieces each spring and the quilts are displayed throughout the village. Since 2025 the standalone festival has been folded into the broader Artisans’ Fair, adding local artisan vendors, live craft demonstrations and hands-on activities. It runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and is organized with a Festival of Quilts Committee.
In 2025 the event was expanded and renamed the Artisans’ Fair Featuring Festival of Quilts. We could not find a record of when the first Festival of Quilts was held, but the park says to stay tuned for next year’s event.
