folk art fair

Traditional artisan market

A folk art fair is a market or festival featuring handmade crafts and traditional artworks—quilts, pottery, woodcarving, basket weaving, and similar items rooted in regional or cultural traditions.

These events typically occur outdoors or in community spaces, with artisans selling directly to the public: We bought a hand-carved duck decoy at the folk art fair.
