Event Highlights:
- Drop-In Style: Activities are available on a schedule throughout the weekend, so swing by anytime. Each project takes about 10 to 30 minutes—perfect for a quick creative fix! And, you're welcome to come back throughout the day to try different activities.
- No Registration Needed: Come as you are, but mid-event arrivals can help manage crowd flow since start times are the busiest.
Plan Your Visit:
- Check the Schedule: Each activity is listed separately to help coordinate with friends.
- Who it's for: Everyone! Adults and children are welcome to participate. Some young children may struggle with some activities but we offer simplified versions where possible.
We can’t wait to make some awesome handmade gifts with you!
