Summer weekends beckon us outdoors with sunny blue skies, warm temperatures, and the promise of memories in the making.
Luckily for us, there are plenty of activities to choose from on the plateau, but one you won’t want to miss is the Sapphire Valley Arts and Crafts Festival. Their second show of the season is on August 5 and 6 from 10:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M. at the Sapphire Valley Athletic Field adjacent to the Sapphire Valley Community Center and Recreation Center.
This festival offers it all – live music, food, games including cornhole, activities for the kids like buckets of bubbles, and of course, arts and crafts from some of the area’s most talented craftspeople. All this, and free parking and free admission.
Craft show lovers will want to take their time perusing the wares of the many exhibitors here and taking the time to chat and learn about the artist’s process. There is always a wide selection of arts and crafts of every imaginable kind – woodworking; fine handcrafted furniture; Christmas wreaths, ornaments, and gifts; woven items; items in stone and clay; paintings; drawings; handcrafted knives; jewelry; candles; scarves and other textiles; hand-blown glass; woodworking; pottery; soaps; food items and so much more. Meander and explore until you find that perfect item to make your own.
There’s something for everyone here, and it’s a fun and relaxing way to get outside for some fresh mountain air while searching for that just right piece of the area’s culture for yourself, your home, or as a gift to share with your friends and family.
Mark the Sapphire Valley Arts and Crafts Festival on your calendars now (August 5 and 6). And join them for great food, mountain music, great shopping, and a great time!
