18th Century Artisan Show - This Weekend

The seventeenth annual 18th Century Artisan Show will be held on Friday, February 2 and Saturday, February 3, 2024 at the Carlisle EXPO Center, 100 K Street, Carlisle, PA 17013. The general public is welcome. Admission is $10.00 per day.

Hours of operation are Friday Feb. 2, 2024, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday Feb. 3, 2024 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The annual 18th Century Artisans Show features over 140 tables displaying the finest Contemporary American Folk Art from the 1750 to 1850 period. In addition, antique muzzleloading rifles, component parts suppliers and period antiques are included at the show.

The Show Committee for this juried event endeavors to have a diverse group of artisans and craftsmen exhibit their creations, including period jewelers, potters, cabinet workers, furniture makers, flintlock rifle, powder horn, blacksmiths, knife and bag makers, leatherworkers, tin ware, silver work, historic publications, painters and more!

Artisans who are invited to exhibit their wares have researched their particular specialty and pay close attention to making their items in an authentic, artistic and high-quality manner and are among the best in the country at their chosen art form.

The Show Committee reviews all requests to exhibit and maintains a “wait list” for potential new exhibitors. Each year priority is given to returning exhibitors prior to adding new ones. All decisions by the Show Committee are final.
