Holiday arts festival to return to Wilmington

The Brandywine Holiday Festival of the Arts is taking place in Wilmington this December.

The festival will feature 150 local artists and artisans. The organizers promise a great opportunity for shoppers to purchase unique, last-minute Christmas gifts. Artists often have Business Cards available at their tables for those interested in making a future purchase after this type of event. A photo gallery of pieces from last year’s show is available online, and a list of this year’s artists will be available closer to the event.

The artist application is open online. Vendors need to sell handmade or one-of-a-kind items. There is a $35 jury fee for new vendors, and all vendors can pay $40 for a table, linens, and chairs, and $100 for electricity. Special hotel rates are available for artists traveling to the festival.

Admission is $5 per person and free for kids aged 12 and younger. Pets are not permitted. Free parking is available. Food, including both snacks and full meals, and drinks will be available for purchase. The festival is suitable for all ages, and there will be kids’ activities like face painting and story reading.

The Brandywine Holiday Festival of the Arts will be on Saturday, December 19, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Sunday, December 20, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, at Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington.
