Eastern Shore Artisan's Guild Tour
2021-11-26 10:00 - 2021-11-27 17:00 (America/New_York)
19th Annual Holiday Tour
Every year, on Thanksgiving weekend, the Artisans Guild Eastern Shore of Virginia showcases our member artisans and their unique crafts and talent in a self-drive show & sale event. This Holiday Open Studio Tour has been held for almost 20 years and is the flagship event for the Guild. The tour takes you off the beaten path and leads you via scenic routes to the home studios, a vineyard and historic locations between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The tour has become a real holiday tradition on the Eastern Shore peninsula, providing a fun opportunity to appreciate our local culture and share it with friends or visiting family members. More than 40 Guild artisans are showing and selling their handmade creations at about 15 different stops and can explain their inspiration and techniques with visitors. It is a wonderful way for many folks to get to know the beautiful Eastern Shore countryside, kick off the Holiday Season with some unique holiday shopping and support our local artisan community.
The ESVA Artisans Guild is excited to announce that the 19th Annual Holiday Tour will return to an in-person format in 2021!
This wonderful Thanksgiving weekend self-driving tour of artists’ and artisans’ studios as well as a vineyard on the Eastern Shore of Virginia will be held from 10-5 on Friday and Saturday, November 26th and 27th, 2021. Explore the beautiful ESVA and its wealth of creative talent and join us for a relaxing and entertaining shopping and wine-tasting experience. We look forward to kicking off the holiday season together!
