The 2nd annual OWA Arts & Crafts Festival is scheduled for Saturday, January 29, from 12-6pm in the beautiful entertainment district of Downtown OWA. This pedestrian-friendly walking area features an abundance of shops, dining, and entertainment, and for an afternoon in January, will be home to a booming arts and crafts festival showcasing vendors, live music, activities and more.
The 520-acre OWA resort is just miles from the white-sand beaches of Alabama and perfectly situated to host an outdoor festival. With the event located at OWA’s entertainment district, you can even grab a drink to-go and enjoy it onsite responsibly while browsing vendor booths and walking around. It’s the perfect opportunity to get out and stretch your legs, support local artisans, and grab a gift for someone special.
“With the success of our inaugural event in 2021, we knew this concept was here to stay. For 2022, we are extending the time frame of the event, we’ve more than doubled the number of vendors accepted, and we’ve expanded our live music and added new kids’ activities. We’re very excited and hope you can join us,” said Kristin Hellmich, the Director of Marketing and PR for OWA Parks & Resort.
