Know Before You Go

  • Hours: The first schedule lists Friday 9 am to 4 pm and Saturday 9 am to 3 pm. The later fair-hours section lists Friday 9 am to 4 pm and Saturday 9 am to 3 pm, with the school opening to crafters only at 6:30 am on Friday and 8 am on Saturday. The dates attached to the two schedules conflict.

Tips & Advice

  • Talk with the crafters at their booths, since each booth is staffed by the person who designs and makes the work.
  • Expect a full fair, because every 2026 craft space and the waitlist are already sold out.
  • Your purchases do good locally, since fair proceeds fund scholarships for Bonny Eagle High School seniors and the upkeep of the Old Red Church.
  • Crafters hoping to sell in a future year should apply early, since spaces go first-come, first-served and the 2026 fair sold out.

Special Events & Promotions

  • 2026 is the 53rd annual Holiday Craft Fair.
