Acadiana artists and crafters have the chance to show their creative talents Saturday during an event held at Hand Up Thrift in Lafayette.
The arts and crafts fair is taking place until 3 p.m. at the store, located at 105 Leonie Street.
Organizers say the fair is a great way for local artists and crafters to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic and showcase their unique talents, after so many fairs and shows were disrupted because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Paintings, homemade sauces and jams, woodwork, and a variety of other items are being showcased and are available for purchase. You can also get some delicious treats from Landry Brother s Catering On The Move food truck.
