Makanda Fest

It's nearly that time of year again.  We're gearing up for the new craft fair season.  It kicks off with a bang at Makanda, Illinois next weekend with Makanda Fest on Saturday and Sunday, May 4 & 5.  We love this show, and look forward to it every year.  If you've not been. you owe it to yourself to come down and see it.  Makanda is a unique little village, quaint and quirky, and this festival reflects that.  Bands are playing all weekend, both in the Pavillion and in the Rainmaker's Garden.  You've not seen the Rainmaker's Garden?  It's worth the trip for that alone.  But it's also a chance to see the most varied and eclectic crowd of any event in Southern Illinois.  Add to that the best artists in the region and some beautiful spring weather...well, you have the makings of a memorable weekend.  Stop by our tent and say hello, and see what we've been up to all winter.  We'll be looking for you.
