Back in the days when you could count the cars coming through this historic community, a festival was begun by Mrs. Statham and Mr. and Mrs. Reeves that has since become the Crossroads at Crabapple Antiques and Art Festival.
They owned antique shops and before long other antique shops appeared. With the festival, these pioneers put Crabapple on the map as one of the best places in the country to come for American Country Antiques.
No more a sleepy community, Crabapple still retains its historic feel, housing antique, art and gift shops in its 19th century homes, buildings and former cotton gin. New retail buildings under a strict design guideline add the needed amenities for a sustainable, walkable community where everyone feels at home.
The spirit of the festival encompasses Crabapple's relaxed atmosphere with roaming musicians, antiques from 50 dealers, artwork and crafts from 50 juried artists.
Come and enjoy strolling under 200 year old oaks, down a closed street, and through the hay field for food, fun and great buys.
Parking and admission is free for this one day only festival Oct. 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There are also children's activities at nearby Goddard School from 2 to 4 p.m.
