39th Aiken's Makin!
Aiken's Makin' History: 39 Years of Fine Crafts!

Fine Arts, Glass Works, Wood, Ceramics, Fabric! Many mediums are used by the artisans at the Aiken's Makin' Craft Show! A Beautiful September day is the perfect day to start on your fall and holiday shopping for everyone on your list!

This show was to be a "showcase" for items made by local residents. For many years the show was held downtown along the sidewalks of the local stores. However as the show has grown and attracted more and more vendors, the event has moved to the parkways of the downtown area.

Through the years the event has grown from a mere 50 vendors to 300. Vendors show everything from pottery, woodcrafts, furniture, baskets, stained glass, quilts, clothing, needlecrafts, toys, jewelry, ceramics, art and many other items. The one prerequisite is that all items must be handmade by the seller. Food has also become a staple at the event. Aiken's Makin' draws quite a crowd during the two day event. Attendance is estimated to be 25,000 to 30,000 people in our parkways over the course of the two day event.
