Spring Faire Returns:  A Community Celebration of Craft, Music, and Seasonal Joy

The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs warmly invites the community to its annual Spring Faire, a family-friendly celebration of the season. The event will be held on Saturday, May 2, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. at 62 York Ave. Free and open to all, the Faire offers a chance to gather and enjoy a day together.

Throughout the day, guests can take part in a variety of hands-on activities, including botanical silk dyeing, wool felting, flower crown weaving, and rope making. Face painting and hair braiding will also be available, while a seedling sale and a selection of local vendors offer opportunities to bring a bit of spring home.

Food and drink will be available across campus, with offerings from the outdoor pizza oven, an indoor café serving fresh soups and breads, a bake sale, and a pie and cake auction.

Live music and performance are woven into the day. Caffe Lena will host its beloved “instrument petting zoo,” inviting children to explore and play a variety of instruments. Two youth bands will also perform, including musicians from the Waldorf School student community. Early Childhood teachers will present puppet shows, a cherished tradition for younger guests.

Visitors can also spend time with gentle animals, including rabbits and a dove. The celebration will culminate in the traditional Maypole dance, bringing the community together in a joyful close to the day.

The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs is an independent school serving children from early childhood through middle school. Rooted in Waldorf education, the school offers a hands-on, screens-off curriculum integrating academics, the arts, and practical skills to support the healthy development of the whole child.
