Northwest Arkansas craft fairs

Welcome to Northwest Arkansas!  Northwest Ar craft fairs

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, 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.
