Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival

For over 70 years, our flower-lined streets have proudly hosted the Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival which takes place every third weekend in March. While it has grown and evolved throughout the years, it remains a familiar family tradition for so many.

During this three-day event, our population of 25,000 swells to nearly 300,000 as our downtown streets come alive with creativity, showcasing the best in art, food, and entertainment in our blossoming community, full of southern charm.

Our Festival has changed in many ways: we have grown from a handful of local artisans in shop windows to over 220 street booths with artists from all over the United States. We no longer charge the exhibitors commissions on their sales, just an entry fee. The number of visitors is now in six-digit figures, rain or shine, and the activities taking place in conjunction with the Festival – from the food court to fun runs – have grown by leaps and bounds.

However, the Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival’s purpose remains the same: to promote good will, to exhibit for show and sale the highest quality artwork and craftsmanship available and to showcase Fairhope – one of the loveliest and friendliest places in the world. (Just ask anyone who lives here.)
