Tennessee Craft invites the public to celebrate the first day of fall by attending the 39th annual Fall Tennessee Craft Fair, Friday, Sept. 22, through Sunday, Sept. 24. The fair is open 10 a.m.–6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. on Sunday. It will be held at Centennial Park in Nashville.

Attracting 50,000 visitors each fair, Tennessee Craft Fairs bring together more than 200 juried craft artists with national and regional reputations sharing their best work with the community. Guests at this popular festival love the personal connection with makers from Tennessee and beyond; learning what inspires each artist and searching for unusual art objects and functional treasures created by these skillful artisans. Support the local craft economy and engage in a shopping experience like no other.

In addition to the array of high-quality craft, the Tennessee Craft Fair Kids’ Tent provides a variety of hands-on activities allowing young artists to explore community through craft. Working with skilled artists and using a variety of materials and techniques, children can create individual art as well as contribute to a collaborative quilt project. Fair visitors of all ages are invited to participate in the project and join the social media dialogue using this hashtag:  #myTNcraftcommunity.
