Spring Craft Fair
The Los Alamos Arts Council’s Arts and Crafts Fair is free for visitors and fun for all ages. Nestled on the lawn east of historic Fuller Lodge, this craft fair hosted by the Los Alamos Arts Council is a perfect excuse to visit Los Alamos and to partake in the rich arts and cultural district located downtown.
If you’re a vendor looking to participate, it has come to our attention that Booth Central has begun offering optional insurance products including Refund Protection. The Los Alamos Arts Council does not endorse any of these insurance products, which appear to be offered by an external vendor. We encourage individual vendors to research any add-ons independently.
