Our Arts & Crafts Festivals are vibrant celebrations of creativity, craftsmanship, and community. These events provide local artists with a platform to showcase their work—ranging from paintings and sculptures to handcrafted jewelry and textiles.

Visitors can meet the artists, learn about their creative processes, and purchase truly one-of-a-kind pieces. We currently host three festivals annually right here in Durango, CO, each one highlighting local talent and fostering community pride.

Whether you’re an artist, a craft lover, or simply looking for a fun and inspiring day out, our festivals offer a unique and memorable experience for all ages.
