On Saturday, December 6, 2025, Stroudsburg High School hosted its annual Craft Fair and Musicfest. Craft Fest was held in the gymnasium from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with many vendors from right here in Stroudsburg, or even some from nearby towns. Common Grounds was open for concessions, and the Stroudsburg Area Music Supporters (SAMS) were holding a bake sale and a guitar raffle. Sports teams like baseball and rifle also had tables for fundraisers.  “This Music fest was different from most years because we performed late. This was my first year with Mr. Cassady, and I feel like he pushed our band until he knew we were going to perform really well,” says Keira Paradis, ’28. “This event is a big community gathering, and it celebrates the arts and unifies us through music.”
