Find unique gifts made right here in central New York at the 49th Plowshares Craftsfair & Peace Festival. It is billed as CNY’s premier multicultural craft fair but is so much more with live music, food and a spirit of fellowship that unites the community throughout the weekend.
Plowshares committee member, Lanny Freshman, discussed the event serving as the main fundraiser for the Syracuse Peace Council, “It represents and it supports peace and justice issues from climate related things, to workers rights to immigrant rights.” Freshman said coming to support the festival will not only be good for the community but good for you as well.
The fair features over 100 local crafters, selling beautiful hand made items. Each item is unique and one-of-a-kind. There are many options for those looking to purchase gifts for the holiday season.
