Benicia’s 35th Annual Craft Fair Coming This Saturday
September 15th, 2008 categories: Local Stuff
Benicia’s always popular Fine Arts and Craft Fair is just around the corner. The 35th annual edition returns this Saturday (Sept. 20), beginning at 10 a.m. Next to the Peddler’s Fair in August, it’s the largest street fair in Benicia, and provides shoppers an opportunity to get a head start on all their holiday shopping.
Benicia’s Handicraft Fair
The fair takes place on First Street in Benicia. The street is closed to traffic starting at the corner of First & G Streets. Every year, the fair draws thousands of visitors from all over the Bay Area and Northern California.
Everything sold in the various craft booths must be hand-made and the items that will be sold are always pre-screened by the Benicia Chamber of Commerce (which puts on the event) to make sure that they meet certain quality standards.
In addition to handmade crafts and fine art, there are usually food booths and a generally festive fair-like atmosphere. That it’s now in its 35th year is testament to its ongoing popularity.
The fair runs until 4 pm and will be held rain or shine. If you want more information, contact the Chamber at (707) 745-2120 or toll-free at (800) 559-7377. You can also email the Chamber at beniciachamber@aol.com.
