Get ready to shop, browse, and be inspired! The Owensboro Convention Center is excited to welcome back one of the community’s favorite fall traditions — the 12th Annual Kraftucky Arts & Crafts Expo is happening Friday, November 7 through Sunday, November 9.
The Expo will once again transform the Convention Center into a shopper’s paradise with over 200 booths filled with handmade treasures. Nearly 140 talented artisans and crafters will be on hand with everything from woodwork and quilts to jewelry, candles, floral designs, holiday décor, specialty foods, and so much more! It’s the perfect chance to treat yourself or get a jump start on holiday shopping.
“We’re excited to welcome vendors from across Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, and even Massachusetts this year,” said Jeanette Goins, Director of Marketing. “Vendor spots sold out once again by September, but we were still able to squeeze in a few additional booths.”
The first 100 shoppers each day will also score a free Kraftucky tote bag to carry all of their finds! “We introduced the free totes during the expo’s 10th anniversary, and they were such a hit that we’ve kept the tradition going,” Goins added.
Show hours are:
- Friday, November 7: 2pm to 7pm
- Saturday, November 8: 9am to 6pm
- Sunday, November 9 11am to 4pm
“We love seeing the community come together for this event each year,” added General Manager Jeff Esposito. “It’s the perfect kick off to the holiday season. The creativity and variety of items our vendors bring make Kraftucky such a unique experience.”
Goins and Director of Event Services, Mary Midkiff both echoed, “It’s always exciting to see this show come together, and it continues to be one of our favorite events we produce.”
Admission is $3 per day for adults or $5 for a weekend pass. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets will be available at the door and parking is complimentary in the Owensboro Convention Center lot.
