75th Anniversary Festival
November 10 - 11, 2023
Pilgrim Place Fall Festival is back! A staple fall event of the Claremont Community since 1948.
Festival includes artisan booths from our talented resident community. Booths and shops feature arts and crafts, paintings, pottery, stained glass, baked goods, plants, crocheting and sewing, and a variety of costume and handmade jewelry. Enjoy one-of-a-kind, handmade, and vintage products. Other festivities include food and drinks, museum tours, book sales, and children's activities.
We are excited to once again be able to host this long-standing tradition. There will be favorites along with new activities.
Preparations for the 75th Annual Festival are now in progress. Mark your calendars and come for two days of shopping, learning new stories, and meeting amazing people that have devoted time to making this Festival the best one yet.
