Join in the tradition of hundreds of Erieites and get some of your holiday shopping out of the way at the annual WQLN Holiday Craft Show. Featuring local artists and craftspersons, help support local makers while also supporting public media.

BEGINS SATURDAY, NOV. 14

The holiday season is upon us once again and WQLN is ready to help us all get into a festive mood (while getting some gift shopping done) with its Holiday Craft Show at Rainbow Gardens. "The WQLN Holiday Craft Show has become one of those special holiday traditions that people look forward to year after year," says WQLN Marketing Director Eric Levy. "We hear so many stories from families who have been coming for years – people who remember bringing their children, and now bring their grandchildren," Levy adds.

The show is slated to have over 100 local crafters offering handmade or one-of-a-kind items. The selection will include clothing, accessories, art, home decor, body care items, sweet treats, and more. WQLN invites you to "come be inspired, and leave with distinctive handcrafted products you won't find anywhere else!" The vendors have all been selected and approved by WQLN's craft show team. The team is tasked with the process of reviewing applications that must include photos and descriptions of products to ensure that the show is full of high-quality, hand-crafted wares.

The stories Levy and crew have heard from the people who make the craft show part of their regular holiday traditions have an impact. Levy explains, "Those memories are a big part of what makes this event so meaningful to us. The support we receive from our community is incredible, and this show is a wonderful way to bring people together, celebrate the holidays, and create new memories." Levy adds, "If you've heard people say it's the best craft show in Erie, come see why!"

Check out the WQLN Holiday Craft Show, get inspired, and shop local.

Saturday, Nov. 14, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 15, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. // Rainbow Gardens, 220 Peninsula Dr. // Adults $5, Seniors $4, Children under 12 Free // More info at wqln.org/wqln-holiday-craft-show
