Chimneyville Arts Festival

An annual handcrafted tradition

“Since 1973, this annual celebration showcases the incredible craftsmanship of artisans from Mississippi and beyond.”

Experience live demonstrations, shop unique handmade items, and explore the rich tradition of fine craft.

Whether you're a long-time attendee or a first-time visitor, Chimneyville offers something special for everyone. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable event! All exhibitors in the festival are juried members of the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi and represent the finest artisans and craftsmen from across the state and beyond.

You’ll find a wide range of crafts on sale: from traditional folk items, such as quilts, baskets and wood-carved spoons, to contemporary works, like metal sculpture, fused glass, and handcrafted jewelry.

Each year, it all begins with Preview Night, an exclusive affair with live musicians, hors d'oeuvres and an open bar.

Decorative snowman figurines with black top hats, red scarves, and small carrot noses. Some of the snowmen have accessories such as snowflake shapes and a stick arm. The toys are arranged on a display shelf, with other holiday-themed items visible in the background.

We’re celebrating 50 Years of the Chimneyville Arts Festival this year!
