About this event
A two-day holiday crafts fair run by the City of Novato's Parks, Recreation and Community Services department at the Margaret Todd Senior Center, with the Novato Garden Club as co-sponsor. Over fifty artisans sell handmade goods such as jewelry, ceramics, specialty foods, wreaths, ornaments and bath and body products, with entertainment and food on site. Admission is free, and the city suggests shoppers bring cash because not every vendor takes cards. Booths are assigned by lottery, with vendors applying through the city each summer.

- From the organizer
- The city's 2026 application period has ended. Booths are assigned by lottery: payment is collected at registration but not processed unless the vendor is randomly selected. Each vendor is asked to donate an item representative of their booth worth at least $10.
What the organizer asks for
Because the faire counts as two sale days, vendors who sell at another event in the 2026 calendar year must hold a seller's permit (temporary permits included), bought by October 16, 2026 if accepted.
