The Sawnee Association of the Arts is back with a holiday tradition: the 16th Annual Christmas Arts & Crafts Festival. The event is the largest indoor/outdoor arts and crafts festival in Forsyth County, with more than 100 vendors featuring original, handcrafted works by professional artisans and craftsmen in the following mediums: painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, pottery, woodworking, glass, fiber and food.

Children can also play in two moonwalks to help raise funds for Forsyth County Community Connection. Food vendors will be available outside, along with numerous nonprofit organizations.
