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!
