Craftsmen’s Christmas Classic Art & Craft Festival — a weekend for discovering art and meeting makers.

Richmond’s Craftsmen’s Christmas Classic takes over multiple indoor buildings at Richmond Raceway Complex November 6–8, 2026. Gilmore Shows’ event brings art, craft and seasonal shopping together, with a return-pass arrangement for visitors who want more than one browsing session.

From fine art to functional gifts

The organizer lists pottery, jewelry, clothing, woodwork, glass, painting, photography, food and seasonal pieces among the offerings. Compare how an object is made and how it will be used rather than treating every booth as the same kind of shopping. The show directory is scheduled for release before the event and can help you locate a favorite medium or returning exhibitor.
