For over 70 years, our flower-lined streets have proudly hosted the Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival which takes place every third weekend in March. While it has grown and evolved throughout the years, it remains a familiar family tradition for so many.

During this three-day event, our population of 25,000 swells to nearly 300,000 as our downtown streets come alive with creativity, showcasing the best in art, food, and entertainment in our blossoming community, full of southern charm.

The Fairhope Arts and Crafts has made a consistent appearance in the top 20 of the Sunshine Artist 200 Best and was ranked number 15 in the latest 200 Best in the Fine Arts and Design.

The 73rd festival theme is "Paint the Town" and we mean that literally. The festival is unveiling something truly unique - a mural that will be created downtown, celebrating the festival and honoring its 70+ year tradition.

The mural will be located adjacent to the Fairhope Welcome Center on Section Street. Our featured artist Hannah Legg will begin work on the mural in early March, with plans to do some live painting during the festival, allowing visitors to experience the creation process firsthand.
