Description:
The Floyd Center for the Arts presents the 23rd Annual Winterfest on Saturday, December 2, 2017 and Sunday, December 3, 2017.

The 23rd Annual Winterfest features more than 30 local artisans and vendors offering a wide variety of goods, everything from locally made food items to bath goods to fine art paintings, fiber art, ceramics, jewelry and so much more!

The first Winterfest was designed as a year-end showcase of local artisanship and creativity, in time for local residents’ holiday shopping, many of whom always had a policy of buying locally made handcrafted gifts for friends and family. Twenty-three years later, Winterfest remains the best opportunity for shoppers to find a wide variety of handmade, local, unique gifts all offered at one place and close enough to Christmas to get some authentic gift buying done.

Back for the fourth year, the Festival of Trees and Wreaths. The Art Center has partnered with Floyd businesses and organizations to celebrate the holiday season and also encourage shoppers to visit local outlets for gifts, decorations, and food for the season. The 4th Annual Festival of Trees begins this week and runs through December 3rd.

This year Festival of Trees & Wreaths has 50 participating businesses. Each pre-decorated, tabletop holiday tree or wreath will be on display at Winterfest, with the final silent auction bidding for visitors to win a tree to take home for the holidays finishing at 4:30 pm on Sunday, Dec 3rd.

The Art Center invites everyone to attend this longest-running, signature event. Admission is free.

This year there will be an additional way for visitors to give back to the community. We have a couple of additional non-profit organizations selling wares to support their mission – the Floyd Humane Society will be offering pet treats, scarves and T-shirts and the Floyd Montessori school will be selling a variety of holiday-themed crafts made by the students and staff of the school.

A Create-Lab for the youngsters will also be a part of Winterfest. There has always been a “Maker Children” aspect included in Winterfest, where supervised children’s hand-making adventures occupy young imaginations, while Mom and Dad are able to shop for unique gifts among many regional vendors.

The Winterfest Café will again be a significant element of the offerings, full of homemade delicacies, soups, snacks, and more. This year offering both breakfast and lunch.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
