WILLITS, CA., 12/5/25 – The 38th annual Willits Center for the Arts Holiday Craft Fair takes place this weekend. 

One of the only fine arts and craft fairs in Mendocino County, the event offers more than 30 artists and artisans presenting unique gifts for purchase, including soaps, ceramics, jewelry, cutting boards, knives, herbal gifts and more, organizers said. 

The fair will also offer food for purchase by Scoops, live entertainment and a raffle benefiting the arts center. 

The event coincides with the annual Small Works exhibit, which features works of various genres that are small in scale, created by 25 artists, including WCA members. 

“The annual WCA Members Small Works show reaches out to the community to display art and gift-giving diversity,” the organizers said in a statement. “There are too many talented people in our town to mention all the members participating in the show. Come by the Art Center to see the show and find one-of-a-kind gifts for friends and loved ones.” 

The fair takes place at 71 E. Commercial St. in Willits and runs Saturday, Dec. 13, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Small Works is available to view during the fair and during regular WCA hours, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
