Since time immemorial, artists have created gifts for celebrations. The practice continues at area holiday craft fairs, where vendors will offer a variety of handmade items—everything from cookies and cutting boards to jewelry and paintings. Check out local artists’ work at the Gifts ’n Tyme Holiday Faire, which will be held at the Napa Valley Expo in Napa on November 19–20, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., and November 21, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Later in the month, November 20–21, the Patchwork Show will take place at the Old Courthouse Square in Santa Rosa, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. And post-Thanksgiving, November 26–27, the Rohnert Park Community Center in Rohnert Park will host the 42nd Annual Holiday Arts and Crafts Faire, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. See our Calendar of Events for more holiday activities.
