Every year, the Arden Fair and Antiques Market is held the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. The Fair features handmade crafts (many of which are local), antiques, used books (inside Gild Hall), plants, live music in the Shady Grove, children's rides, a variety of foods, an Art Show, Gild booths and more. Admission and shuttle buses are free. The Arden Club is a non-profit organization with the proceeds from the Fair going towards the Arden Gild Hall where the public can come and see many concerts and shows and participate in many instructional programs available throughout the year. For questions about the Arden Fair, please call Sima at 302 475-7268.

Most of the event is outdoors which includes macadam, grassy hills and knolls, but there are two indoor exhibit venues - Gild Hall and the Buzz Ware Village Center. Also, there is covered seating behind The Buzz, near the food vendors, so people can eat in the shade. Also, there is plenty of shade down in Shady Grove, where food and refreshments (including wine and beer for those 21 and over) are offered for sale, plus free non-stop live music.
