This 7th annual art and craft show is held in downtown Alden, Michigan at Depot Park on Torch Lake, which National Geographic voted as the #3 lake in the world. The boutique event limits participation to 75 artists and drew over 10,000 attendees last year. The focus is on handmade and artist-designed items, with consideration also given to unique/creative gift ideas, authors, inventors, and designers for holiday gift-giving.
