About Us
Castleberry Fairs & Festivals is a family-owned producer of juried arts & craft festivals celebrating handmade work since 1989.
Founded by stained-glass artisans Chris and Terry Mullen, Castleberry began with a simple belief: handmade work deserves thoughtful presentation, strong promotion, and genuine respect for the people who create it.
Our Story
In 1989, Chris and Terry stood behind their booth at another poorly run craft fair and knew there had to be a better way. Attendance was weak, advertising was limited, and the care behind handmade work was being lost.
So they built something different.
What began as Castleberry Glass grew into Castleberry Fairs & Festivals — a family-run business created by artisans, for artisans. With firsthand experience as makers, Chris and Terry understood the importance of well-organized events, strong locations, clear communication, and attracting the right audience.
Over the years, Castleberry has grown throughout New England while staying true to the values it was built on: quality, consistency, and a deep respect for handmade work.
What We Believe
We believe handmade is more than a product — it reflects skill, time, creativity, and heart.
That is why our events focus on:
- juried handmade work from the USA
- well-run shows in strong locations
- meaningful promotion that supports our artisans
- creating a welcoming experience for shoppers
A Family Tradition
Castleberry remains a family business, and that personal commitment still shapes everything we do. Through changing times, new challenges, and decades of growth, our mission has remained the same: to celebrate handmade and support the people behind it.
