The Herkimer Diamond Gem Show and Festival Set for July
If you love all things stones and gems, and you love our own Herkimer Diamonds, you'll want to make your way to the Herkimer County Fairgrounds for this year's Herkimer Diamond Gem Show and Festival.
It's not just a bunch of stones, or looking at rocks. If that's what you're thinking, we're guessing you haven't made your way to the Herkimer Diamond Gem Show and Festival before. This event is huge! Yes, it brings gems, minerals, and stone dealers from all over the country, but there are tons of other vendors on site with handmade jewelry, spray paint artwork, tie-dye shirts and accessories, painted wine glasses, bird feeders and outdoor decorations, and so many other unique items and goodies. There's even going to be an artist doing henna tattoos.
According to the Herkimer Diamond Gem Show and Festival's Facebook Event Page, this weekend of fun will also include a psycic fair and activities for the kids. And don't forget to bring extra money, not just for all the goodies from the vendors, but for lunch from one of the many food trucks that will be on site.
The Herkimer Diamond Gem Show and Festival is Saturday, July 21st and Sunday, July 22nd at the Herkimer County Fairgrounds. The event goes from 9am to 5pm each day and costs $5 to get in (which you can pay at the gate). You can keep an eye on vendors being added to the event, and get additional information by checking out the Facebook Page: The Herkimer Diamond Gem Show and Festival.
If you haven't been to this event before, we suggest you spend a few hours there, this time around. Thousands of people make their way to the Herkimer Diamond Gem Show and Festival every year, and we're sure this year will be even bigger and better.
