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 Salt Fork Arts & Crafts Festival is three days of Arts & Crafts, performing arts and concessions sure to delight all ages. Additional activities include Heritage of the Arts, Market Place, Student Art Show, Art Within, Senior Citizens and Craft Classes. Prior to the event, extensive publicity is conducted to promote the event throughout the region. Festival sponsor Time Warner Cable provides nearly 2,000 airings of thirty-second Festival commercials in many communities throughout Ohio. A new website was launched on January 15, 2007.

The Festival is held in the Cambridge City Park, Cambridge (11,657/Est. 2000 Census), Guernsey County (41,304/Est. 2000 Census).
