Join us for May Market, Hill-Stead’s springtime fundraising event!

May Market is produced with enormous support by The Hill-Steaders, volunteer ambassadors of Hill-Stead, who have supported the museum with fundraising and outreach initiatives for over 30 years. This is one of their largest events which serves as a fundraiser in support of Hill-Stead’s gardens, grounds, and trails.

This year, the festive happening will feature over 30 premium exhibitors and flowers and unique plants perfect for Mother’s Day.

Exhibitors will be located both indoors and outdoors. At the present time, Hill-Stead Museum suggests that anyone indoors on Hill-Stead Museum property be masked. We aim to create a successful event for both sales and safety.
