For 50 years, our winter fair has served as the largest off-air fundraiser for Berkeley’s KPFA radio. Over the decades this craft fair has become a Bay Area cultural institution. The Fair features more than 150 diverse exhibitors, including both master artisans and emerging newcomers. Artists and craftspeople are a vital part of our local, small business community, and craft fairs like ours provide an opportunity for them to showcase their work to the public.
This year the Annual KPFA Benefit Craft Fair will take place at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, located in Pleasanton, CA. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful Amador Valley, along with the outstanding line-up of vendors. Delicious food is catered in house by Spectra. DJ Andy Cabic of Vetiver lends a lively vibe with a curated set list. Proceeds from the door benefit KPFA radio.
Call for Volunteers!
Sign up to volunteer for the 51st Annual KPFA Holiday Benefit Craft Fair! It’s a great way to show your support for KPFA, and volunteers have free entry to the Fair for the entire weekend. We rely on our wonderful team of volunteers to keep the event running smoothly. Each volunteer shift is from 2.5 to 3 hours long, with jobs including taking tickets, helping exhibitors unload their wares, booth-sitting while exhibitors take bathroom breaks, and other light duties around the fair.
If you’re interested in volunteering, please visit the Volunteer Sign-Up page of our website to choose the shift that best fits your schedule. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].
