For the past 22 years, the First Baptist Church in Essex has sponsored this juried Annual Arts and Craft Fair on the Essex Town Green.  Both locals and visitors to the area enjoy shopping the 60+ booths that fill the Town Green with unique, handcrafted artwork.  Admission is free to the public.

Essex is located on the Connecticut River, about four miles north of Long Island Sound.  Easy to reach from any direction, Essex is also the home of the very popular Essex Steam Train and has had the distinction of being voted “The Best Small Town in America.”

GPS Location Address:  12 Main Street, Essex (this is the Post Office address which is located next to the Town Green).
