Double the Holiday Craft Fairs at Shadelands!
‘Tis the season — and that means shopping! Be extraordinary this year. No matter how you celebrate the joys of the holidays and who’s on your gift giving list, you’ll always find distinctive items lovingly handcrafted by professional artists and local artisans who show off their handiwork at craft faires and makers markets. Shadelands, home to two of the region’s most popular holiday craft faires at the Shadelands Ranch Museum and the Shadelands Art Center, will be teeming with handcrafted treasures for everyone of all ages on your holiday gift giving list. There will even be something special just for you!
The Shadelands Holiday Faire has something for everyone on your holiday list — and don’t forget yourself.
The Shadelands Holiday Faire has been a seasonal tradition at the Shadelands Ranch Museum since 1983, when the historic 1903 Hiram Penniman ranch house, home to the Walnut Creek Historical Society, transforms into a holiday boutique, overflowing with handcrafted items and gifts offered by dozens of local artisans and vendors. This year, the Holiday Faire runs November 30-December 15, 10am-4pm daily. Admission and parking are free. Shadelands Ranch Museum, 2660 Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek.
