Lauderdale by the Sea welcomes back it’s signature fall craft show November 26 – 27, 2011.  Traditionally held in October, this popular craft show has officially been moved to Thanksgiving weekend, for the cooler, more pleasant temperatures.  A1A will be closed to vehicular traffic at Commercial Boulevard presenting festivalgoers with an optimal setting to explore the work of the country’s top crafters. The Lauderdale by the Sea Chamber of Commerce hosts this juried two-day annual tradition.  Admission is free and open to the public.

The festival presents holiday shoppers an alternative to crowded mall shopping, offering a vast selection for those seeking unique gift items at affordable prices.  

A wide variety of original and affordable handmade crafts, appealing to all tastes, will be on display and for sale.  Craft mediums include folk art, pottery, handmade jewelry, paintings, personalized gifts, handmade clothing, scented soaps and body products.  Prices are set to suit all budgets, ranging from as little as $3 to $3,000.

In order to ensure a superior event with quality affordable original crafts, all of the local and national crafters have been hand-selected from hundreds of applicants by American Craft Endeavors, producers of the top outdoor craft festivals in the country. All crafters will be on site for the duration of the festival available to discuss their art , techniques and inspiration.
