I will be touring several holiday season craft shows in Southwest Michigan over the months of November and December 2025. Many of these events are some of the largests ones of the year. At all of these events, I will have a booth selling and signing copies of my books on Victorian Michigan True Crime.
I will be in Dowagiac on Saturday, November 15th at the Dowagiac Middle School, from 9AM – 3PM. It is located at 57072 Riverside Drive, Dowagiac, MI. Then on Sunday, November 16th I will be at an event in Lansing at the Royal Scot Bowling Center located at 4722 W Grand River Ave, Lansing, MI. This event is from 1PM to 4PM, and is expected to be a lot of fun.
The biggest craft show of the season I will be attending is at the Kalamazoo County Expo Center on Saturday, November 22nd 9AM-3PM, and Sunday, November 23rd 10AM – 3PM for the Holiday Craft Show. This event has over 300 craft booths, and will take over the entire expo center! My booth can be found in the main expo hall at this event near one of the main doorways. It is going to a spectacular event! Definitely a great one to attend to get all of your Christmas shopping done at! If you show up early on Sunday, the event planners give out free gift bags to the first 200 attendees, and usually there is some money in a few of them! Plan for a full day to see everything, no matter which day you come! You just might want to come both days, this show is so big!
On Thanksgiving weekend, Saturday, November 29th I will be at the Leslie High School at 4141 S Hull Rd, Leslie, MI from 10AM – 3PM for their Small Business Saturday Craft Show. This is also going to be a fun event, so if you have family in town that weekend, you might want to put this one on your calendar.
On Saturday, December 6th 10AM – 3PM I will be at the Performance Field House at 1027 E Michigan Ave, Paw Paw, MI for their Holiday Market Craft Show. This is usually a wonderful event, and the crafters are very diverse with their products. Plan for a few hours at this one.
The following weekend on Saturday, December 13th AAM – 3PM and Sunday, December 14th 10AM – 3PM I will be returning to the Kalamazoo County Expo Center for the Christmas Craft Show. Once again, this is another very big weekend event with over 200 crafters. It will be a great time to pick up some last minute Christmas gifts. Once again, plan for a full day to see everything. The crafters at these shows are incredible, and there will be a lot of great holiday gifts here for last minute shoppers! Once again if you show up early on Sunday, you might be lucky enough to get a free gift bag!
Finally, I wrap up the holiday season at the Christmas Craft Show at Westwood Mall, 1850 W Michigan Ave, Jackson, MI on Saturday, December 20th from 11AM – 6PM. This is another festive holiday craft show on the final weekend before Christmas, and is organized by Fishville Farms.
