Holly Berry Arts and Crafts Fair
A holiday arts and crafts fair hosted by the Frankfort-Elberta Area Chamber of Commerce in late November.
The Holly Berry Arts and Crafts Fair is the Frankfort-Elberta Area Chamber of Commerce’s late November market, a chance to shop handmade gifts as the holiday season starts.
In 2024 the fair was held in the Frankfort High School gymnasium with more than 70 vendors. The chamber’s 2026 listing gives the date and opening time but not the location, so check with the chamber before you go.
What to expect
The chamber lists the fair among its own events. Past editions have filled the Frankfort High School gymnasium with dozens of vendors and a holiday theme; confirm the location for the current year with the chamber.
