Festival of Wood 2019
Grey Towers National Historic Site, Milford | August 3-4, 2019
Handmade woodcrafters: applications are open and due May 1 for the 15th Annual Festival of Wood. Sponsored by the US Forest Service, the Pocono Arts Council, and Grey Towers Heritage Association at Grey Towers National Historic Site in Milford, PA, the festival is a public education program that heightens awareness about the importance of wood in our society and how professional and scientific forestry helps meet that continued need.
The annual event has grown to include unique crafts made from wood, children’s activities with wood and wood products, and a number of educational demonstrations and programs. Last year’s festival drew over 3,000 patrons from the Tri-State area. For 2019, we are limiting the fine craft exhibitors to no more than 25 and diversity in wood media is expected.
