That crisp autumn air has finally arrived bringing with it the eagerly anticipated 47th Annual Bell Buckle Webb Art & Craft Show on Saturday, October 19th and Sunday, October 20th! A shopping tradition like no other, this festival is a pilgrimage for many. With over 800 booths throughout the historic Tennessee town, everyone’s holiday shopping list just got a lot easier!
The Bell Buckle Webb Art & Craft Show and the Bell Buckle Downtown Show headline the weekend extravaganza. The Webb Art & Craft Show is the GOAT of Fall Festivals, consistently voted the best Fall Festival in Middle Tennessee for, well, ever! Located on the Sawney lot on Maple Street, this show features juried artists in the fields of stained glass, woodworking, candle making, jewelry, metal works, textiles and so much more. Not to mention the incredible food choices! The offerings are akin to a tasting of the world’s best cuisines. All you foodies out there are going to love it too! And as always there will be the hay bale seating area near the food court on the back end of the Webb Show for those wanting to take a little shopping breather. The Bell Buckle Chamber of Commerce will be on site at the Chamber tent with exclusive Bell Buckle shopping bags for sell and all the intel needed to navigate your way around.
The Downtown Show is located at the Stage Lot behind the downtown stores down the alley next to the iconic mural. This shoppers’ delight show will be jam-packed again this year with artists and crafters and some eye-catching artist demonstrations. Do not miss the iron forging on this lot near the back corner of Bluebird Antiques and Ice Cream on the Downtown Show lot; it is a sight to see! There is row after row of arts, crafts, food, fun, and smiles. This year offers some of the best festive finds for even the hardest to please!
Of course, all the Bell Buckle stores will be geared up for the Fall and Holiday season with that unique, one-of-a-kind Bell Buckle shopping experience. Bell Buckle welcomes friends and old and new every year with smiles and hugs and a genuine “how y’all doing”. The entire town pulls out the Fall carpet for the thousands of visitors that keep making the trek to the best little arts and craft and foodie festival ever! Black Friday may be the official start of the Holiday shopping season, but everyone knows that it is the Bell Buckle Webb Art & Craft Festival that really kicks off the shopping extravaganza galore!
The Bell Buckle Chamber of Commerce Facebook page will have parking maps loaded the week of the event. Please be sure to check the maps and as traffic backs up, take the first available spot you find. Parking lots are not associated with the Bell Buckle Chamber nor the Town of Bell Buckle, but we are told to expect to pay $10 to park at most lots. The map will also include the location of ATMs, First Aid, and Lost & Found. The Bell Buckle Chamber of Commerce booth located at the entrance to the Webb Art & Craft Festival is also there to help answer questions. Wear those walking shoes as there’s over a mile of booths to be explored with well over 800 booths around the city streets! City streets will be closed to vehicular traffic but open for fun the entire weekend!
The perfect show, the perfect place, the perfect town for it all! Visitors can’t get enough of the Bell Buckle Webb Art & Craft Show and all there is to experience. The Show works so well because of the high standards of artisans, the small-town friendliness, and because, well, it’s Bell Buckle!
