Come shop, play, tour and make memories during this 78-year-old tradition — the Waterford Foundation’s “Waterford Fair”! The Fair is the mid-Atlantic’s quintessential fall festival with demonstrating fine heritage & contemporary craft artisans, living historians, a juried art show, historic properties tour, local libations, and entertainment for all ages.
Located in the National Historic Landmark of Waterford (f. 1733), this unique village is situated in Western Loudoun County, Virginia. Noted as “DC’s Wine Country”, we are only 50 minutes from the District of Columbia.
