Now in its 36th continuous year, the Morristown CraftMarket is one of the top juried, longest-running and most successful fine craft shows in America.

This beautifully juried, in-door show is held on the spacious ground level floor of the Morristown Armory located in Morris County, New Jersey - consistently rated by the U.S. Census Bureau as one of the 10 most affluent counties in the country.
