It’s time to get crafty! The Kraftucky Arts & Crafts Expo is gearing up for its biggest year yet as the Owensboro Convention Center prepares for the 13th Annual event on November 13-15.
New this year, the show will expand to the first and third floors of the venue, featuring nearly 350 booths and more than 200 vendors. Shoppers can browse an incredible variety of unique finds, from woodwork and quilts to jewelry, candles, floral designs, seasonal décor, specialty foods, and so much more –making this year’s Expo the biggest Kraftucky ever and offering something special down every aisle!
“Kraftucky has become a holiday shopping tradition that people look forward to every year,” said General Manager Jeff Esposito. “It’s an opportunity to discover unique gifts, support small businesses, and enjoy a great weekend with family and friends. We’re proud of what this event has become and look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Owensboro Convention Center.”
“We’re thrilled to have talented artisans from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, Ohio, and even Texas at this year’s Kraftucky,” said Jeanette Goins, Director of Marketing, who coordinates vendor recruitment for the event. “The response from vendors has been incredible, and spanning onto the third floor has allowed us to accommodate additional booths. Welcoming these talented small businesses to Owensboro generates overnight stays and additional activity for our local restaurants and businesses. Plus I’m so excited to see all of the wonderful items they’ll bring for our show attendees to explore and shop!”
Show hours are:
- Friday, November 13 from 2pm to 7pm
- Saturday, November 14 from 9am to 6pm
- Sunday, November 15 from11am to 4pm
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 only and parking is complimentary in the Owensboro Convention Center lot.
Plus, the first 100 shoppers each day will also receive a free Kraftucky tote bag to carry all of their fabulous finds!
