The Complete Berea Craft Festival Guide
How to make the most of Berea's signature summer craft celebration.
The Berea Craft Festival is a highlight of the town's calendar. This guide walks you through what to expect and how to plan a great visit.
Plan ahead
Buy tickets in advance when possible, arrive early to beat the crowds and the heat, and wear comfortable shoes — the festival grounds at Indian Fort Theater involve some walking on natural terrain.
What you'll find
Juried artisans display and sell handmade pottery, jewelry, glass, wood, and textiles, with many demonstrating their craft. Add in live music, regional food, and kids' activities for a full day out.
Insider tips
Bring cash for smaller vendors, carry water, and take time to chat with the makers — the stories behind each piece are half the fun. Check the events calendar for the current year's dates.
