Paradise City rescheduled

The Paradise City Marlborough Arts Festival was postponed from its Spring dates (Mar. 20-22) to June 12-14 at the Royal Plaza Trade Center in Marlborough, Mass. due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An award-winning fair of fine craft, art and sculpture in the Boston area, the show features 175 exhibitors of various mediums from across the country, and also has food, live music, woodturning demonstrations and more.

The Paradise City Northampton Show has also been postponed to Aug. 1-3 at the Three County Fairgrounds in Northampton, Mass.

“Event dates are a moving target these days,” show director Linda Post told Woodshop News in March. “We have just made the decision to move our Northampton show from Memorial Day Weekend to the first weekend in August. Right now, we are sticking with the June dates for the rescheduled Marlborough show, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it stays on those dates.”
