About the
Salt Fork Arts & Crafts Festival
The Salt Fork Arts & Crafts Festival
originated June 3, 1967, as a one-day event on the City of Cambridge
courthouse square. The Festival Committee then known as the Greater
Cambridge Arts Council decided to move the Festival to the Cambridge
City Park in 1968. The Festival is managed by our Board of Trustees and Committees of the Ohio Arts and Crafts Foundation, a 501(c)3
nonprofit organization established in 1968.
The Festival is held in the Cambridge City Park,
Cambridge (11,657/Est. 2000 Census), Guernsey County (41,304/Est.
2000 Census). The festival is a major event in Guernsey County drawing
several thousand visitors from across the country.
