When: Sat, Sep 7, 2013 | 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM
Where: The Shirt Factory, 21 Cooper Street, Glens Falls, New York
Cost: FREE ADMISSION

On September 7, 2013 the historic Shirt Factory will host the 2nd Annual LocalFest -  an outdoor celebration of all things locally made!

This will be an exciting showcase of both the history and continued tradition of manufacturing in Glens Falls and the surrounding region.

The current national trend of shopping locally is embodied by a number of manufacturers who create value right here in the City, just as the McMullen-Leavens Company did at the Shirt Factory building from 1902 to 1976, and as the building’s more than 80 tenants continue to do today.

LocalFest features:

  • A presentation on the history of manufacturing in Glens Falls by the Chapman Historical Museum
  • A full day of homegrown live music outside on the lawn
  • Glens Falls manufacturers exhibiting their wares and explaining their manufacturing process
  • Local writers offering readings and book signings of copies of their works for sale
  • Guest artists and artisans
  • Food vendors and restaurateurs from the local area
  • Local arts and non-profit organizations offering children's activities and educational information

Now seeking sponsors and vendors. See more information here.

Please note: this event will take place rain or shine.
