Cricket's Nest

Festivals and Events at the Cricket’s Nest

Each year artisans set up inside the South Fork Recreation Center and in the South Fork park (for select events) to welcome you with beautiful hand-crafted items for your home and gifting pleasure. Food vendors will be ready to share tasty treats to satisfy your taste buds.

The Nest has organized festivals since its inception. Festivals are sponsored by the Cricket’s Nest Craft Shop and the City of Winston-Salem Recreation & Parks Department.

You won’t want to miss out on our 2025 events so mark your calendar to join the fun!
