In its 12th outing, the event draws thousands of shoppers to check out nearly 100 vendors offering artisan crafts, up-cycled items, handmade jewelry, original photography and art, pottery, vintage clothing, reclaimed furniture, and collectibles. Live music and multiple food vendors will also be featured on-site.
The market gets its name from the park’s historic McConkey Ferry Inn, with portions of the building dating to 1750. Representing a typical country tavern or inn from the Revolutionary era, local tradition holds that George Washington dined at the establishment prior to his famous crossing of the Delaware River.
