Lake Anna Bazaar
Program Details & Spotlights
Discover unique handmade goods at the fall edition of the Lake Anna Bazaar at Coyote Hole. This open-air market brings together dozens of local artisans, crafters, boutique owners, and jewelers from across Central Virginia. In addition to shopping, guests can enjoy a full selection of hard ciders, regional craft beers, and specialty wood-fired pizzas from the drafthouse kitchen. It's an ideal weekend outing to support local small businesses while sipping delicious local beverages in a relaxed, family-friendly orchard setting.
As the summer boat traffic cools down, Lake Anna transitions into one of its most magical seasons. The air gets crisp, the leaves along the shoreline turn brilliant shades of amber, and the local community gathers for some of the best autumn events of the year. The fall edition of the Lake Anna Bazaar at Coyote Hole is the quintessential transition-into-autumn event. Hosted at the sprawling, picturesque Prospect Drafthouse, this open-air market transforms the orchard grounds into a vibrant hub of local commerce and community connection.
If you are looking to deck out your lake home with unique decor, find that perfect handmade piece of jewelry, or jump-start your holiday shopping, this is where you need to be. Dozens of talented artisans, crafters, and boutique curators from across Central Virginia set up shop under the open sky. The bazaar highlights the immense creative talent thriving in our region, offering everything from hand-poured soy candles and custom woodwork to boutique apparel and artisanal pantry staples that you simply cannot find in big-box stores.
But the bazaar is much more than just a shopping trip—it is a full-day experience. Coyote Hole is famous for its laid-back, family-friendly orchard atmosphere. While you browse the vendor booths, you can sip on their signature hard ciders, poured fresh from the drafthouse. From classic crisp apple to seasonal spice blends, their ciders are a true taste of Virginia heritage. If cider isn't your beverage of choice, Prospect Drafthouse also features an impressive rotating tap list of regional craft beers.
To round out the afternoon, make sure to grab a table near the drafthouse kitchen. The aroma of fresh, wood-fired pizzas baking in the ovens drifts across the lawn, making it nearly impossible to resist a slice. Whether you are a full-time Lake Anna resident, a weekend warrior closing up the cabin, or a visitor discovering the charm of Mineral for the first time, the Lake Anna Bazaar offers a warm, welcoming slice of local life.
