Raleigh Christmas Arts and Craft Show

Raleigh Christmas Arts and Craft Show

Raleigh Christmas arts and Craft Show greeted Downtown Raleigh this weekend.  The Christmas Arts and Craft show is scheduled annually the first weekend in December.  The Raleigh Convention Center host this festive Holiday event.  

Artisans from all over the state show their wears.  The arts and crafts run the gambit from jams and jellies, jewelry to woodworking.  Musical entertainment adds to the festive atmosphere.  Saxophone Quartet playing Christmas Carols, area dance troops, and choirs really get everyone in the spirit.  

Some of my favorites:
  • The Candle Man making multi-layered carved candles as you watch.  
  • A gemologist specializing in amber jewelry
  • Gourmet spice packs for snack dips
  • Satin tree skirts
Make the Downtown Raleigh Christmas Arts and Craft Show a distination for all your Holiday Shopping.
Downtown is only 30 minutes from Cary!

Raleigh Christmas Show at the Raleigh Convention Center

Raleigh Christmas Show at the Raleigh Convention Center

I know the season is near when I receive my annual invitation to the Raleigh Christmas Show at the Raleigh Convention Center.   This year I was a bit saddened, because my daughter is my usual companion, and this year is away at college.  Away at college is a relative statement, she attends NCSU, only 30 minutes away.  Should I give her a call?  Absolutely, tradition is tradition!

Last Sunday, with her best friend in tow, the three of us attended the Raleigh Christmas Show at the Convention Center.  It was also the same day as the Raleigh Chrismas Parade an event we remember well as a family. We made our plan for the show. We would begin to the right and go up and down each isle looking only to the right.  You must have a strategy to see everything.

 The big new item this year is Bottle Cap Jewelery.

Pictures are adhered to the outside of the bottle caps and they are magneted together. The beauty is they're interchangeable.  Can also be used as key chains, bookmarks, broaches, you name it!  Very creative idea.  

Each year we fill our bags with unique gifts for family and friends.  It's also about the adventure of being in Downtown Raleigh for the day, lunch included.

Raleigh being the state capital has so many things to offer.
