REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – The Rehoboth Art League’s 34TH Annual Holiday Fair—Fine Craft Show returns the first weekend in November to offer area residents and coastal visitors creative shopping in an historic setting. The event, to be held November 3 and 4, brings more than two dozen fine craft artisans to the Henlopen Acres campus to showcase and sell their creative products. From ceramics to jewelry, and from wearable fiber art to glass, the Holiday Fair has something for everyone.

Community members will have the opportunity to stroll the art league grounds, visiting artisans’ booths in three different buildings—the historic Homestead, the Chambers building, and the main gallery. Food and drink will also be on campus, courtesy of The Point Coffee House and Bake Shoppe, offering breakfast and lunch options in the Children’s Studio, and Dogfish Head, who will offer a selection of craft beer in the ‘Paynter’s Pub.’ Sussex Gardeners will also be on campus, selling holiday greenery. Finally the Rehoboth Art League will have raffle tickets available for Dory, an original watercolor piece donated by local artist Howard Eberle. Tickets are $5 each or five tickets for $20, and proceeds of the artwork raffle will support RAL’s exhibitions and education programs.

Show hours are Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Entry is $5 per person for the weekend, and includes one raffle ticket for a chance to win an item donated by participating Holiday Fair artists. Attendees that take out a new membership, or renew their existing membership with RAL, will receive free entry. Children under 12 are admitted free to the event.
