Thank You for a Wonderful 2025 Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair!

The Albemarle Craftsman’s Guild would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited the Fair this past weekend. We were thrilled to welcome a record number of visitors, and our craftsmen were delighted with the enthusiastic response and strong sales. It was such a joy to chat with you, share our work, and celebrate the spirit of handmade craftsmanship together.

Our Guild’s motto — To Learn, To Create, To Share — continues to guide us as we carry forward the legacy of quality handcrafts in the Albemarle region.

Looking ahead, the 2026 Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair will be held in a new location while the Museum of the Albemarle undergoes renovations.
Join us October 23–25, 2026 at the Currituck Extension Office in Barco, NC — just a short drive from Elizabeth City. It’s a beautiful facility that we’re excited to call home for next year’s show.

The Fair is proudly sponsored by the Albemarle Craftsman’s Guild and the NC Cooperative Extension Service.
