Mission San Miguel Thanksgiving Arts, Crafts, and Food Faire

Mission San Miguel, San Miguel, CA. . – Just as in the mission days, when everything given and held dear was created by the hands of local craftsmen and artists, so too in that spirit, San Luis Obispo County artists and cooks will show off and offer their handiwork for sale at the San Miguel Mission Arts, Crafts and Food Faire November 23^rd and 24^th from 9:30am to 4:00pm and November 25^th from 8am to 4:00pm.

In these unsettling times, we are all reexamining our core values and beliefs and realize that often the best things are made by hand and come “from the heart”. It is with this spirit that this event is conceived. Highlighting this event is an outstanding boutique featuring: Original Art, Prints, Sculpture, Literature, Needlework and Crafts all exquisitely made by fellow San Luis Obispo County artists and crafters, as well as Music, Homemade Food and Desserts. In addition to this, demonstrations of the old mission crafts of weaving and spinning are slated.

This is an event the whole family can have fun and participate in! Extend your Thanksgiving, and kick off the Christmas season with this relaxing and old-fashioned event. A portion of the sales will benefit the Parish Building Fund.
