53rd Annual Pink Palace Crafts Fair

First held in 1973, the Pink Palace Crafts Fair has been the high point of the fall season in Memphis for 50 years. The first fair featured around 30 craftsmen set up on the lawn in front of the mansion. Over the next two decades, the Pink Palace Crafts Fair grew into a major event with added fine craftsmen, traditional craft demonstrations, music, children’s activities and traditional cooking demonstrations. When the museum grounds couldn’t contain the thousands of fans who came each year, the Friends moved the fair to Audubon Park. It is now the largest juried arts and crafts fair in the Mid-South.

Visitors will find a variety of eclectic pottery, jewelry, 2-D art, glass, wood, leather, sculpture, fiber and so much more. Adding a festival feel are demonstrations by master craftsmen and live music. Food and drink vendors, including craft beer and wine, will be on hand with popular treats and beverages. Kids can visit the petting zoo, ride the popular choo-choo train that circles the park, take a pony ride or try the climbing wall.
