Craft Fest is CRAFT CLT’s fun annual fundraising event that merges vendor booths, an art show, demonstrations, classes, and food trucks in one vibrant location! Discover a new craft at the Make-n-Take Stations, sign up for a class to learn a new skill, or wander through the marketplace to support the talented local makers and craft suppliers.
Vendors and food trucks will be positioned outside, rain or shine. Indoors, there will be an exciting lineup of Make-n-Takes, live demonstrations, the art show and engaging classes.
The festival and parking are free. There is a charge for classes.
