Truly something for everyone, and never the same from year to year, the Great Fair is one of the top 5 Art venues in the Southwest.  Dozens of talented musicians lighten the mood, providing free entertainment throughout the show and at the central stage on Saturday and Sunday.

Friday is traditionally the day for “serious shoppers”… vendors look forward to seeing their regular customers who take advantage of the smaller crowds to have an unhurried visit.  Although many Artists have been part of the Great Fair family for more than 2 decades, the juried show welcomes fresh talent every spring.  Buying direct from the artists makes Gallery-quality art very reasonable.
