Arts and Crafts Fair

9/12/24 UPDATE: The Arts & Crafts Fair has been moved indoors! It will be held on the Main and Top floors of the Murphysboro Event Center, located at 1329 Walnut St. It will open at 10am on Friday, September 13th and follow previously scheduled hours. There is a small elevator available at the rear of the building. Pat's BBQ will be set up immediately behind the Grand Parade Judges Stand located at the intersection of North 13th Street and Walnut.

An Apple Festival favorite every year, the Arts & Crafts Fair brings a wide variety of crafters from across the region. Handmade items such as seasonal decorations, jewelry, and personal and household accessories are among the many items that will catch your eye.

Pat's BBQ will have their food truck parked in the middle of all the action with Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches and more. Stroll the outdoor booths Friday and Saturday and enjoy the old-fashioned flavor of the street fair atmosphere.

ALL VENDOR SPACES ARE FULL FOR 2024!
