Christmas is coming. Evidence: Your 2022 craft show calendar has arrived
UPDATE: The Shop with Friends Craft Show at Donauschwaben Society in Colerain Township will take place Sunday, Oct. 30. A previous version of this story had the event listed under an incorrect date.
When the Beastie Boys sang "The girl is crafty like ice is cold" they may not have been thinking of Greater Cincinnati, but it's their loss, as our city is filled with imaginative, creative crafters and makers.
Every autumn, our convention centers, community centers, church halls, schools and parks play host to craft shows and fairs chock-a-block with ingenious handmade goods ideal for gift-giving.
Here's a look at the current craft show calendar. If yours isn't listed and you'd like it to be, send the details to calendar@cincinnati.com with "craft show" in the subject line and we'll get it added. Happy shopping!
