40th Annual Square Fair Crafts Festival - May 12, 2012

Where it’s cool to be square.

For 40 years, Square Fair has been a mainstay tradition in Garnett.  Held annually the Saturday before Mother’s Day, Square Fair is the “cool” place to bring mom and the entire family.

On May 12th, enjoy approximately 100 crafters and business booths, food vendors and a little mix of farmer’s market, as the festival takes over downtown Garnett. The kids can enjoy an array of children’s activities on Saturday, including face painting, a magician, inflatable rides and more.   Live musical entertainment performed throughout the morning and afternoon.

Presented by Garnett Business and Professional Women (www.garnettbpw.com), Square Fair was founded 40 years ago by the local chapter of American Association of University Women (AAUW).  Square Fair has graced the grounds of the Anderson County Courthouse in the center of Garnett as one of the most famous events in the area and one of the largest festivals held in Garnett.
