For over 70 years, our flower-lined streets have proudly hosted the Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival which takes place every third weekend in March. It has grown and evolved throughout the years, but it remains a familiar family tradition for so many.
A long time beloved spring tradition, the festival will welcome more than 200 artists from across the country for a weekend filled with fine art, handmade crafts, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities. During this three-day event, our population of 25,000 swells to nearly 300,000 as our downtown streets come alive with creativity, showcasing our blossoming community, full of southern charm.
In 2027 we will celebrate our 75th anniversary, making the Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival a true "Diamond in the Art".
It is truly an honor to serve as Chair of the 75th Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival. For 75 years, this tradition has brought our community together to celebrate incredible artists, creativity, and the unique spirit of Fairhope. I am proud to help lead this milestone festival and grateful to everyone whose hard work and dedication have made it such an important part of our community. I look forward to celebrating this remarkable anniversary with our artists, volunteers, residents, and visitors.
Wendy Soles, Chair of the 75th Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival

Proud to give back to our community!
Since its inception in 2016, the Festival Foundation has gifted more than $350,000 to organizations and students within Fairhope and the surrounding communities.
Are you working for or know of a local non-profit or civic organization that is dedicated to enhancing the local arts? That is focused on art-based activities which primarily serve the youth and residents of Fairhope? Are they looking for funds? We might be able to help.
