Handwork 2026: A Nationwide Craft Initiative

Indie Craft Parade is proud to participate in Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a new initiative led by Craft in America to honor handmade during America’s Semiquincentennial. 

Our festival joins museums, artists, and organizations across America as part of a yearlong celebration of craft.

Led by Craft in America, Handwork 2026 brings together makers, museums, educators, and organizations to showcase the craft traditions that define and connect America. Its goal is to highlight the importance of the handmade both throughout our history and in contemporary life. 

Indie Craft Parade was created for Greenville, South Carolina in 2010 to support and promote artists, educate the community about the modern craft movement and encourage a renewed appreciation for quality handmade goods. Now in its seventeenth year, our annual festival highlights and contributes to the artistic and innovative local economy of Greenville, SC.

You might even Indie Craft Parade on the Handwork 2026 website!
