Top
Rated Craft Show Boasts Shopping, Music, Food and Prizes
(San Jose, Calif., June 13,
2014)--- Don't be fooled by empty "door buster" deals designed to lure
you to the Big Box retail stores this Black Friday weekend. For a truly
enjoyable shopping experience, visit the San Jose Harvest Festival®, November
28-30 at the San Jose Convention Center, and help support the independent
artisan instead.
The San Jose Harvest
Festival® is one of the largest indoor arts and craft shows on the West Coast
and was recently rated among the top 200 craft shows in the country. The show offers over 24,000 handmade arts and
crafts, including original art, jewelry, photography, clothing, specialty
foods, holiday decor, and more.
Many of the artists at the
Harvest Festival offer bargains and show specials that can only be obtained at
the event. Plus, attendees can meet the artists and can often get their
purchases personalized. There will be a grab bag prize drawing each day, and
the Grand Prize drawing, happening on Sunday of the show, features a brand new
ipad mini.
Throughout the weekend, the
Harvest Festival offers upbeat live music, including performances from Tom
Rigney and Flambeau, a band that blends American Roots styles into a completely
original sound, mixing infectious grooves with deep musicality and spectacular
solos. On Saturday afternoon, there will be a special one time performance by the
Sweet Adeline's.
Gingerbread on the Go will
co-host the KidZone and will feature make-and-take gingerbread cookie projects.
Nature of Art for Kids, an eco-friendly company offering non-toxic art supplies
for children, will also be participating by offering crafts using
"green" and repurposed materials. Plus, parents can stop by the New
York Life booth to obtain a free Child ID kit.
The Harvest Festival will
welcome back its official non-profit partner, Humane Society Silicon Valley, a charity
committed to animal welfare in every facet. Humane Society Silicon Valley
(HSSV) will receive half of the proceeds from shopping bag sales and all of the
proceeds from the bag and parcel check.
Loaves and Fishes, a San
Jose based non-profit organization which serves free, nutritious meals to the
working poor, families, homeless and seniors, will be the food donation partner
for the show. Anyone who brings a monetary or non-perishable food donation to
the show will receive $2 off their admission.
