Craftapalooza

Celebrates its 24th year. It was previously called the All Saints’ Fine Arts Crafts Fair and was held annually, but like most, we had to take a one-year break during covid. We have a big change this year-we’re serving Gourmet HOT Greek and Indian lunches. Whether you’re looking for gifts or a just coming out for a delicious lunch or our delicious baked goods, bring your friends and family to Craftapalooza Saturday, November 23, from 9 am – 3 pm at All Saints’ Church in Carmel.
