A 44 Year Tradition: The Berea-Midpark Craft Show

One of the largest and longest-running craft shows in Northeast Ohio, the Berea-Midpark Craft Show has been a cherished community event since 1980. What began as a small fundraiser for the Midpark Music Boosters, known then as the Pumpkin Patch Show, has grown into a major annual gathering that draws thousands each fall.

Our Story

1980: The Pumpkin Patch Show launches, supporting the Midpark Music Boosters.

1990: A Spring show is added to complement the popular fall event.

2009: The Spring show is discontinued to focus on a single, larger fall event, which continues to grow in size and reputation.

2013: With the merger of Berea and Midpark High Schools, the event became the Berea-Midpark Craft Show, now supporting the Performing Arts Boosters and benefiting choir and drama students across the Berea City School District.

2019: The show features over 300 tables and welcomes more than 5,000 visitors.

2020: The show is paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021: The event returns, hosting over 250 tables and attracting 3,000 attendees. Michelle Snyder has been appointed Vice President of the Berea-Midpark Boosters and serves as chairperson for the Berea-Midpark Craft Show.

2022: We welcomed 3,431 guests during a bright, sunny weekend and featured over 250 returning vendor tables.

​

2023: More than 3,200 guests joined us for another fantastic show! Our Craft Show Cafe debuted a new menu, which was a huge hit with attendees. Plus, we were featured in Mimi Vanderhaven Magazine, reaching readers in a dozen local communities.

​

2024: We expanded the show with 20+ new vendors and additional spaces. Nearly 4,000 guests attended, and Santa joined us all weekend for photos and holiday fun!

​

2025: Now celebrating its 44th year, the show continues to thrive, with more than 300 vendors expected and thousands of visitors anticipated.
