It's NW Arkansas Craft Fair Time Again!

Northwest Arkansas is known for its numerous arts and crafts shows held each year in mid-October. This year is no exception. Handmade, unique items will be displayed for sale throughout the entire area from Bella Vista, Bentonville, Fayetteville, Rogers, Springdale, and War Eagle. 

Buyers and sellers travel hundreds of miles to participate in the festivities. The gorgeous fall weather is usually cooperative but it’s good to know some shows are indoors.  

All shows offer free admission.

Next Weekend is Craft Fair Weekend in NW Arkansas

Come join the throngs of vendors and buyers at arts and crafts extravaganzas throughout NW Arkansas next week, October 17 - 21. But don’t wait until the last minute because the best items will already be gone.


These shows attract people from hundreds of miles away and from surrounding states. Each year the shows grow larger and new vendors vie for available slots to show and sell their handmade, unique items. It’s estimated some 200,000 people will flock here next weekend – and the weather is usually cooperative. Just in case, some shows are indoors and that eliminates weather concerns.

All shows offer free admission.
