Craftsmen's Christmas Classic Art & Craft Festival

The Craftsmen’s Christmas Classic in Greensboro, NC is the original Gilmore Shows Craftsmen’s Classic, and a hallmark Thanksgiving Weekend tradition for 49 years. Eager customers line up each day to enter and shop with the talented exhibitors in the Classic, often with two or more generations of family in their group to carry on a “can’t miss” tradition! Gilmore Staff is always accessible, working the show and helping to keep things running smoothly and offering help and guidance. Exhibitors often comment of the feeling of “family” at Gilmore Shows, and appreciate the professional but friendly approach from staff and other exhibitors. The Gilmore team works hard to make artists and craftsmen feel welcome and appreciated. Offering a broad variety of art and crafts with treasures for every style, taste and budget, Gilmore Shows attracts an interested crowd through heavy advertising and marketing. Advertising is done through dozens of outlets including network and cable TV, radio, billboards, newspaper, local publications, other print ads, live interviews, direct mail and email, social media, digital marketing and more. With a major emphasis on “Shopping Small” on Small Business Saturday each year, this event hosts the largest collection of small businesses in the NC triad.
