Craft Fair

25 spots open

This November, craft enthusiasts and holiday shoppers in the Minden area have a long-standing tradition to explore. The Kandy Kane Craft Fair, now in its 20th year, takes over the Valley Ballroom at Carson Valley Inn for the weekend right after Thanksgiving. Running November 27-29, 2026, this craft fair brings together local and regional artisans who create everything from handmade holiday decorations and jewelry to wooden toys, knitted scarves, and other one-of-a-kind items you won't find in chain stores. The timing makes it an ideal shopping destination for anyone looking to get ahead on holiday gift-giving or stock up on unique seasonal décor before the busy weeks ahead. Craft fairs like this one differ from farmers markets or pop-ups in that they're entirely focused on handmade and artisan goods rather than produce or food vendors. You'll typically find makers specializing in categories like home décor, textiles, accessories, and gift items, with many vendors adjusting their inventory specifically for the holiday season. Shoppers at the Kandy Kane fair tend to be people seeking authentic, crafted alternatives to mass-produced items, plus those looking for gifts with character and story behind them. The event's free admission and free parking remove barriers to browsing, making it easy for casual browsers and serious holiday shoppers alike to spend a few hours exploring without commitment. The Valley Ballroom setting provides a comfortable indoor venue, which is especially appealing in late November when weather in the Minden area can be unpredictable. Whether you're a vendor looking to reach holiday-focused shoppers during peak gift-giving season or a crafter hoping to connect with a community that values handmade goods, this 20-year-running event has clearly found its audience in the Carson Valley. The weekend timing allows both shoppers and vendors to make a full day of it, and the post-Thanksgiving slot positions this fair perfectly for anyone ready to shift into holiday mode.
