Mark your calendar for the Chimacum Arts & Crafts Fair, Dec 13th (9 a.m. – 4 p.m.) & 14th (10 a.m. – 3 p.m.), at Chimacum High School. This beloved annual local traditional is 38th year, and will be featuring over 100 talented artisans from near and far.

Bring your friends and family and join the community for a festive day of shopping and creativity. The fair promises a vibrant array of handmade goods, including one-of-a-kind jewelry, handcrafted home decor, holiday schwag, cozy textiles, wreaths, pottery, woodwork, original art, and so much more. In addition to local artisans, youth and community groups will be raising funds for their programs, including 4H clubs, The Gathering Place, and the Rotary’s annual pictures with Santa.  Chimacum High School’s Culinary Arts class will be serving hot soup and grilled sandwiches out of their FEED Truck, the state’s first student-run food truck enterprise—which made its debut in the 2023 Fair! With something for everyone, it’s the perfect opportunity to find unique gifts while supporting local craftspeople.

Beyond just holiday shopping, the fair serves as a crucial fundraiser for Chimacum Schools. All proceeds from the event will go to support unfunded programs within the community, ensuring that students have access to enriching educational experiences. Over the past 37 years, hundreds of thousands of dollars raised at the Chimacum Arts & Crafts Fair have been invested in sports uniforms, art supplies, field trips, library collections, weight room equipment, teen center programs, school gardens, and more. By attending, you’ll not only be bringing home beautiful, high-quality items to gift or enjoy, but you’ll also be contributing to the learning and success of local youth.
