Celebrating its 36th year, The Cedarhurst Art & Craft Fair has grown into one of the largest events in the region.  Held annually the weekend after Labor Day, The Cedarhurst Art and Craft Fair is an open air event situated among the large scale art of Kuenz Sculpture Park on the grounds of Cedarhurst in southern Illinois. In addition to the annual Art & Craft Fair, visitors to Cedarhurst will also enjoy the 5 art exhibition galleries of Mitchell Museum, and the beautiful lake, woods and trails throughout the sculpture park. Mt. Vernon lies at the crossroads of I-57 and I-64 and attracts visitors to the fair from southern Illinois, St. Louis, MO, Springfield, IL, Evansville, IN and Paducah, KY. Music entertainment and food concessions accompany the art fair and (according to reviews) artist hospitality keeps many artists returning to this show!
