Festival Info Boards

 

When you arrive in town next week, you will find Festival schedules at Maritime Mosaic, as well as at Amherst Town Hall.  Both buildings are located on Victoria Street, in the heart of our downtown. These bulletin boards will update every morning with the daily events, as well as list activities scheduled for the week.  Make sure you check them out!

Hang Out With Our Festival!

 

The 2022 Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival is taking place August 2 to 6 in Amherst, Nova Scotia.  To celebrate all things fibre, we are encouraging everyone to participate in Hang Out Days during the Festival.

On any day (or every day!) of the Festival, hang out your quilts, aprons, blankets, mittens, rugs, or any handmade fibre work.  Hang them from your clothesline, porch, deck, tree, or wherever you can find, and take a picture.  Send us your photo (or tag us on Facebook @NovaScotiaFibreArtsFestival) so we can post them on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Help us celebrate all the wonderful fibre creations made in this area!!

One Week From Today!!

 Can you believe it?!?  August 3 - 6 in beautiful Amherst, Nova Scotia.
