Enjoy the 7th Annual Arts and Crafts on Bedford

This weekend, Saturday and Sunday September 17 and 18 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., get out of your Stamford apartment rentals to attend one of Downtown Stamford’s signature events on Bedford Street, the annual Arts & Crafts on Bedford.

It’s an easy stroll for the residents of our Hoyt-Bedford or Morgan Manor apartments, and just across the street for our residents in The Townhouse on Prospect Street! For the seventh year in a row the Stamford Downtown Special Services District (SDSSD) hosts this premier event that kicks off the fall schedule of events for area residents. It’s a free event and showcases some of the area’s finest and most unique artisans and their wares. This year there will be over 80 booths to peruse and wander among. In years past I’ve spent an entire afternoon wandering from silk scarf painters, glass blowers, woodcarvers and pottery demonstrations. There’s something for everyone – really.

You’ll also be glad to see that just about all of the restaurants along this stretch of Bedford Street have outdoor seating so you can take a break from all your shopping to sit a grab a bite to eat. Have you tried the pizza at Remo’s, or the cheeseburgers at Lucky’s? My personal favorite is to sit under the umbrellas at Capriccio’s sipping some iced Pellegrino and snacking on a delicious toasted Panini.

So take a walk on over and spend a lovely afternoon wandering among all the craft booths, have a chat with any of the artisans – you know they’re always happy to talk about their wares or take a seat and enjoy some people-watching. Maybe I’ll see you there!
