Lambton Fall Colour & Craft Festival
Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18 , 2026
The Lambton Fall Colour & Craft Festival at Lambton Heritage Museum has been a community tradition since 1980. This juried event features vendors selling handmade goods, ensuring a unique shopping experience. As one of the largest craft festivals in the Lambton Shores area, it welcomes 3,000 visitors on average each year. The event is Lambton Heritage Museum's signature fundraiser, with proceeds supporting the museum's work. Last year’s festival had over 70 vendors selling a variety of items from categories such as art and home décor; bath and candles; clothing, apparel, and accessories; food and drink; jewelry; needlework and textiles; pottery; and signs and woodworking.
Admission is $5 cash only. Kids 12 and under are free. An ATM will be available inside the museum grounds should you need it.
Only service animals are permitted on the museum grounds during the festival.
