Leathermakers, jewelry artists, fiber artists, woodturners, sculptors, metalworkers, artists, glassblowers, photographers, et al, are invited to apply to this juried event.

The festival, now in its ninth year — on hiatus in 2020 for the pandemic — promotes and supports locals arts and the community. It typically draws 5,000 visitors to its activities, food trucks, and wine and beer garden.

The festival showcases music, dance, the written word, and the visual arts with free workshops and demonstrations throughout the two-day festival.
