The Eighth annual Fair Trade Festival promises to be the best ever. The newly revamped and spacious Waterside provides room for new and unusual products as well as favorites from around the world that have made this beloved festival a must-go for 7 years. "Clothing, jewelry, food, house wares, chocolate, wine, and beer... all products are produced under fair labor standards, so not only will people love their gifts, you know that those gifts keep on giving by allowing people around the world and in your own community to make a decent living and support their families” says festival organizer Susan Posey.

Customers come from as far away as Williamsburg to experience this warm, friendly atmosphere:  local and fair trade wines and beers, local food, and an all-star cast of local musicians providing live music all day long.  Belly dancing, poetry, and free chocolate and coffee tastings make this festival a genuinely unsurpassed experience.  Grab dinner here, and whatever you do, don’t miss the incredible main concert event, the DC based and world-renowned band Scythian.  Classically trained musicians, Scythian plays everything from Celtic rock to Gypsy to Klezmer.
