New Location: 125th Street & Park Avenue

We’ve relocated to a central hub that makes joining the festivities a breeze, no matter how you travel.

When: Saturday, October 10th, 2026

Getting Here is Easier Than Ever

Our new home at the Metro-North 125th Street Station is one of the most accessible points in the city:

  • Metro-North: Arrive exactly at the festival gates.

  • East Side Subways: The 4, 5, and 6 lines all stop at 125th Street.

    • The Lexington Avenue line puts you just one block away from the action.

    • Other nearby connections are all within a short, four-block stroll.

Whether you're coming from Westchester, Connecticut, or just downtown, the heart of the fiber community is now just a quick train ride away.

  • The Kings County Fiber Festival serves to encourage the revival of traditional fiber arts.  The Festival embraces both fiber and handmade artists and the resource providers that make their work possible.  The Kings County Fiber Festival includes crocheters, dyers, felters, knitters, quilters, spinners, and weavers, as well as artists creating design works that incorporate fiber as an integral material. Our goal is to raise awareness of both historic and contemporary approaches to the fiber arts.

  • The festival and demonstrations are FREE to attend and participate in. Vendors have finished clothing, accessories, decorations and Fiber Arts supplies available for purchase also.

  • The festival opens to the public at 10am and closes at 5pm. It is only held on one day.

  • If there a 30%-or-more chance of rain forecasted, the event will move to it’s rain-date.
