Welcome
to Northwest Arkansas!
Craft fairs and
Northwest Arkansas go together like kettles and
corn! Top artists and
craftsmen from all over the United States come
to Northwest Arkansas to show and sell their hand-made wares in our
renowned Craft Fairs held each May and October.
Our region welcomes hundreds of thousands of
visitors from all over the nation as they shop
for hand-made pottery, stained glass, baskets,
jewelry, artwork, and much, much more, while
meeting and sometimes watching the artisans at
work.
Spread throughout
Northwest Arkansas, what's historically
known as the "War Eagle
Weekend" includes numerous arts & crafts fairs,
held annually the 3rd weekend of October.
A majority of the fairs are juried, meaning the
artisans must meet strict guidelines in order to
participate.
Most of the fairs
will run through Sunday, most closing at 5:00pm (some later). Keep in mind that all
of our fairs are open - RAIN or SHINE!
