All proceeds will be used for the preservation, upkeep and maintenance of Oak Alley Plantation, a National Historic Landmark, which is owned and operated by a private, non-profit foundation.
What's Goin' On?
More than 170 booths of juried artists and crafters from throughout the United States. Coming from as far away as California, Missouri and Tennessee, to as close as Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, and our own local artisans from Louisiana. Oak Alley's show prides itself in selecting crafters with the most unique items to sell. We also limit each booth to selling items from only two categories. We have made it our mission to continue to have a high quality Festival that only handcrafted, original items are allowed to be sold by exhibitors. More specifically, the items must be hand-made by the exhibitor, themselves and the exhibitor must be on hand to talk about his craft during the show. "Secret Shoppers" roam the Festival to ensure that crafters are following the rules.
Some unique items such as mixed media 2-D art, garden & folk art, stained glass, Louisiana Mud Paintings, pen and ink drawings, watercolor prints, copper fountains, sculptured resin dolls, gourmet jellies & pickles will be on display for sale. And of course, we will have on hand original and handmade creations such as jewelry, furniture, clothing, home accessories, paintings, photography, pottery, wooden crafts and toys. You will also find gifts to give for Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day. And don't forget, for all those sports fans we will have plenty of LSU and Saints memorabilia!
Bring the Kids!
As always we structure the festival with activities for the entire family to enjoy. The kids will have more fun than the parents. We will have pony rides, a petting zoo, EuroBungy jumping, face painting, jewelry making, sand art and much more to keep them busy.
