Plimoth Patuxet Museums Showcases 85 Artisans & Cultural Performances by Wetu Ways at Winter Fine Arts & Craft Fair
The multi-day event celebrates creativity and culture
Plymouth, Massachusetts (November 25, 2025) – Plimoth Patuxet Museums is proud to present its third annual Winter Fine Arts & Craft Fair on Saturday, December 6, and Sunday, December 7, from 10 am to 4 pm each day, featuring an extraordinary selection of vendors and powerful cultural performance by the Indigenous collective Wetu Ways.
This year’s fair brings together 85 talented artists and makers from across New England, including over 20 Indigenous artisans, for a curated marketplace of handmade jewelry, woodwork, ceramics, fine art, textiles, and more. “The quality of artistry represented at the Winter Fair is exceptional,” said Christina Basler, Directory of Education & Group Programs. “It’s an honor to bring together makers whose dedication to their craft enriches our community and offers visitors such memorable, meaningful works.”
In addition to the artisan market, the Winter Fair will host Wetu Ways, a Northeast Indigenous cultural initiative founded by Keon “Sookunôn” Jackson (Mashpee Wampanoag) and Crystal “Naqúut Wusqhun” Treadwell (Unkechaug Nation). Through song, dance, and storytelling, Wetu Ways bridges ancestral knowledge with contemporary expression, fostering unity and preserving traditions. Wetu Ways will present their cultural demonstration at 11 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm, each day of the Winter Fair.
“Sharing Indigenous culture and lifeways is central to the mission of Plimoth Patuxet Museums. We are so pleased to welcome Wetu Ways to the Winter Fair,” said Tom Begley, Executive Director. “The Museum is committed to creating a space where culture and community converge, allowing visitors to deepen their understanding of the region’s Indigenous heritage and the vibrant traditions that continue today.”
