Kiwanis Arts and Crafts Shows
Longest-running arts and crafts shows in Safety Harbor
For over 25 years, the Kiwanis Club of Safety Harbor has proudly hosted arts and crafts shows on Main Street, right in the charming heart of Safety Harbor, occurring twice a year in March (Spring Show) and December (Holiday Show). We take pride in announcing that these events are the longest-running arts and crafts shows in the city’s history.
Taking place on a Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM, our shows provide a fantastic opportunity for hundreds of local artists and crafters to exhibit and sell their hand-crafted goods and artwork. Additionally, we’ll have food vendors offering tasty food and beverages throughout the event. The shows are free to the public and are designed to be family friendly.
