The story

Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival in Tunbridge

The Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival is a two-day fiber arts celebration held each fall at the Tunbridge World's Fairgrounds, now in its fourth decade. The festival gathers fleece and yarn vendors, fiber animal breeders, spinning and weaving demonstrators, and shepherding workshops against a backdrop of peak Vermont foliage.

Each autumn, the Tunbridge World's Fairgrounds in central Vermont trades its usual agricultural fair programming for two days devoted entirely to fiber.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival serves a dual purpose that sets it apart from a typical craft fair: it functions simultaneously as a marketplace for small fiber farms to sell fleece, yarn and finished goods, and as an educational hub teaching spinning, weaving and animal husbandry skills that connect directly to Vermont's working agricultural landscape

02

The mystery stays covered

Live sheepdog herding demonstrations give visitors a rare chance to see working farm skills performed as entertainment, bridging the gap between agricultural practice and public spectacle

03

The city starts moving

Its setting at the historic Tunbridge World's Fairgrounds, one of Vermont's oldest continuously operating fair sites, ties the festival to the same agricultural fairground tradition that has anchored the region for more than 150 years
