OCCOQUAN, Va. — Though Sunday was positively steamy, visitors flooded the picturesque streets of historic Occuquan to check out the Spring Arts and Crafts Fair. Vendors at the fair were concerned with the heat warning issued over the weekend, but fair goers did not seem to mind.
“Sure it’s a little hot,” said Jeff Bartos, co owner of DJ Flicker’s Candles. “But I have been coming here for at least 10 years now. It is one of my favorite shows.”
More than 300 vendors and local storeowners filled Occoquan with a colorful display of everything from homemade soap to garden statuary. The fair is in its 44th season.

Over 15,000 visitors packed the streets during the two-day event. Several buses brought fairgoers from satellite parking lots to the front of the fair.
“I have 25 years of candle making and selling under my belt now,” said Bartos. “I love coming down to Occoquan the people here are amazingly friendly!”
