Wabanaki Winter Market (2025 Edition)

Saturday, December 13, 9am – 3pm
Collins Center for the Arts, Orono, ME

The Wabanaki Winter Market is New England’s largest holiday gathering of Wabanaki artists. This annual event features artists who have received national awards, as well as new artists representing the next generation of weavers.

The event provides the public with an opportunity to purchase Wabanaki art directly from the artists and to learn about these ancient traditions.

Join the Hudson Museum for a day that will showcase one-of-a-kind art forms (basketry, beadwork, wood carving, birchbark items), and maple syrup as well as demonstrations, storytelling, traditional music, drumming and dancing. Something for everyone!

This year’s Friends of the Hudson Museum raffle basket was made by Dolly Barnes, Passamaquoddy.  Tickets will be available for purchase at the market.

The Hudson Museum will be open during the event, and visitors are encouraged to explore the Wabanaki Gallery where they can view the work of the ancestors of the contemporary artists.

The Wabanaki Winter Market is FREE and open to the public.
