During Christmas in Strafford , our local artisans and craftspeople open their homes and studios to the public. We have 55+ crafters at local homes and studios, the Bow Lake Grange Hall, Waldron Store and Bow Lake Church. Many of our craftsmen are juried members of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen & everything is handmade by our vendors; no re-selling is allowed!

Each year, we produce a map that will help you get around Strafford and find each stop!  As you travel around Strafford, you will see large "Cardinal" signs with the stop # to let you know you have reached your destination. Maps are available at the Strafford Town Hall, Hill Library and Isinglass Country Store, or in the November Strafford Community Calendar. Or you can pick one up during the event at the Isinglass Country Store, Strafford Grange Hall (in kitchen area), and the Bow Lake Church (Idlepines Room).
