Holiday Craft Fairs & Bazaars

The holiday season can mean many things to many people, a time for celebration and being with family, but it also has some other perks – holiday craft fairs! Now hear me out, every year you must come up with thoughtful gifts for family, friends and even some co-works, so what's better than giving a "home made" craft? Sure it might not be made by you, but it's the thought that counts. Here are a few of the holiday craft fairs and bazaars talking place around Sacramento.

Auburn, CA 95603

The whole community is invited to share in the holiday fun! Crafters and artists will have their wares on sale for that special one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts. There is great food and entertainment, and pictures with Santa. Shops and restaurants will be open late, and there will be Holiday Open House in all shops! This a time to go from "normal" city living and enter "Christmas Town!" and have an unmatched holiday experience! Old Town is a perfect opportunity to whittle down your Christmas shopping list, while enjoying the holiday spirit.

This place is a fall/ winter holiday must for me and so many others! Whether it's for cutting down a Christmas tree, finding a wonderful wine, jams, pies or a Halloween Pumpkin this place is an adventure for young and old alike. From the beautifully photographic rolling hills filled with fall trees, grapevines, apple trees, and pumpkins it's almost like a spot of New England in Northern California. Stock up on goodies, wine and Christmas treats for host and hostess gifts throughout the season, or for some holiday hosting yourself.

Every foodie's calling on a Sunday morning in Sacramento is the farmer's market - from the summer produce to the winter root vegetables, live fish, rare pork, and specialty cheeses.
