FORT BRAGG, CA., 8/28/26 — A favorite Paul Bunyan Days event is the two-day crafts fair sponsored by the two local Soroptimist clubs. This is what’s known as an artisan fair, as everything is handcrafted. Other fairs may offer items that are mass-produced or made overseas, but not this one.

Annually, there are as many as 80 booths, selling all sorts of handmade items, including: jewelry, clothing, art, handbags, quilted items, leather and wooden items, plants and bulbs, stained-glass, pottery, kids’ clothes and toys, ironwork, home goods, herbal products, soaps, rugs and wood carvings. There are also massage and food vendors and many other fascinating artist crafts for you to explore.
