Join us to celebrate Winooski’s Onion Fest at the Winooski Farmers Market! Coming from the Abenaki ‘Winoskitekw,’ meaning ‘onion land river,’ Winooski is known as Vermont’s Onion City. We’re excited to celebrate our roots with this Onion Festival!

During Onion Fest, come into the Mill Museum gallery in the Champlain Mill to make a clothespin doll for our Mandala Community Weaving project and add a ribbon for what you love about Winooski.

This will also be the last day to see our Community Fiber Arts exhibition which features Story Quilts by local seniors and Knitted blankets from our Stitch Together program in collaboration with AALV’s Women’s Cafe group.

Join us for a day of fiber fun, featuring vendors offering a variety of high quality fiber goods, community mandala-making, local non-profit guests offering fiber-related education and activities, and a raffle to support the Heritage Winooski Mill Museum!

Activities and fiber artists selling goods will be set up outside the Champlain Mill next to the Farmer’s Market.

Come inside the Mill Museum to see a new Community Fiber Arts Exhibition featuring Story Quilts and Community Blankets created by participants in two collaborative community art projects: our Stitch Together knitting group at AALV and our Story Quilt project with the Winooski Senior Center and Heineberg Community Senior Center.
