Mission San Miguel, San Miguel, CA. . –It’s been a difficult year for us all. –And there’s still a lot of uncertainty abroad. It’s times like this we begin to look forward to the coming Holiday season with a renewed appreciation for home values, curling up in a cozy spot with friends and family, homemade cooking and exchanging handcrafted gifts and toys. It is in that spirit that the artisans and cooks of North County are coming together at Mission San Miguel to celebrate this special time of year and welcome all to come and enjoy this year’s San Miguel Mission Thanksgiving Arts, Crafts, and Food Faire on November 29^th, 30^th from 9:30 am. to 4:00pm and December 1st from 8:00 am. until 4:00 pm.

Highlighting this event, there will be all sorts of homemade goods such as candy, nut wreaths, soft baby blankets, warm scarves, original paintings, unique purses and jewelry, toys, embroidery, baked goods, food and LIVE music!

This year is even more exciting than last year - a painting by world renown mission artist Anthony Quartuccio will be raffled off to a lucky person!

This is an event the whole family can enjoy and share in! –Extend your Thanksgiving holiday and kick off your Christmas season with friends in this historic setting, while appreciating the talents and camaraderie of local craftsmen and artists.---This is what the Holiday Season is all about!
