about the show

The Paradise City Arts Festival celebrates its twelfth year in New England’s premier art and craft market. Taking place during the peak of Fall Foliage, this event attracts nearly 20,000 visitors and extraordinary media coverage. The customer loyalty for this show is amazing; last fall's guest books were signed by collectors from 26 states, despite rains and flooding that plagued the region for weeks on end. Exhibitor sales are consistently strong, generating approximately 2.2 million dollars across all price ranges and mediums.

Located on Interstate-91 just 15 minutes north of the Massachusetts Turnpike, Northampton is under an hour from Hartford, the Berkshires and southern Vermont; under two hours from Boston, Albany and southern Connecticut; less than three hours from New York City. Designated "The Best Small Art Town in America" and one of AmericanStyle Magazine's top "Art Destinations", Northampton is a cultural, dining and shopping destination for visitors from all over the Northeast.

about the show


Paradise City Marlborough, in just three years, has become Metro Boston’s premier holiday season show. Like its sister show in the same location in March, this is an elegant, well-attended show with strong high-end purchases and record exhibitor sales this year of nearly 1.5 million dollars. This show attracts considerable publicity in the Boston press and its convenient location, beautiful layout and abundant free parking draws raves from an appreciative audience.

At the entrance to Paradise City Marlborough is the sunlit Sculpture Court, which provides a prominent and effective display area for large-scale sculpture and functional garden pieces. Acoustic jazz in the Scultpure Court lends a lively, upscale ambiance to the entire show.

Located in the heart of Boston's affluent western suburbs, at the crossroads of eastern New England, Marlborough has easy access to Boston, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island and major airports. The Royal Plaza Trade Center's convenient Boston-area location, beautiful layout and abundant free parking draw a loyal, sophisticated and appreciative audience to this Paradise City show.
