The Edge of Liberty Craft Fair Sun Aug 23 -10a-3p🌻 WE’VE ALL HAD QUITE A WEEK, NWI. 🌻

After the derecho, days without power, trees down, flooded basements, generators humming everywhere and a whole lot of neighbors helping neighbors, we’re hoping Sunday feels a little more like normal.

So come spend it with us at the Edge of Liberty Craft Fair – August 23, 2026.

We’re still without power ourselves, and after a week without much sunshine the garden isn’t exactly bursting at the seams — but we’ll harvest whatever the farm gives us, our vendors are dusting themselves off, and we’re going to do our best to give everyone a good old-fashioned Sunday afternoon in the country.

🗓️ Sunday, August 23 • 10 AM–3 PM
📍 606 N Calumet Ave, Valparaiso
🎟️ Free admission • Free parking
