Faulkton Arts & Crafts Festival Returns October 18, 2025

Faulkton, SD – The Faulkton Area Arts Council is once again preparing to welcome hundreds of visitors to town for the annual Arts & Crafts Festival, set for Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the Faulkton School Gym. The beloved community tradition, now in its 43rd year, will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A Tradition of Creativity and Community

Each fall, the festival transforms the gym into a bustling marketplace filled with handcrafted items, seasonal décor, specialty foods, clothing, and unique gifts. Last year’s event drew an impressive crowd, with shoppers enjoying both the festival and the vendor fair at the Legion Hall, along with special promotions at local businesses. Organizers expect another strong turnout this year, with dozens of vendors already confirmed.

Fun Beyond Shopping

Visitors can make a day of it by stopping at Faulkton’s shops and eateries, many of which offer event-day specials. The Arts Council emphasizes that the festival is not only a shopping opportunity, but also a chance to support local artists, connect with neighbors, and kick off the fall season with creativity and community spirit.
