NEW IBERIA, La. --- The Shadows-on-the-Teche Spring Arts and Crafts Fair will take place in the Shadows gardens on Sat., March 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Vendors from around Louisiana will display and sell their original work. A variety of hand-crafted products will be available for sale, and just in time for Easter, family BBQs, and the beginning of spring. 

Homemade preserves, yard art, children’s clothing, hair accessories, and tasty treats make perfect basket fillers. Original artwork will brighten up any room, and beautiful handmade ceramics will help you to ring in the spring after a crazy and cold winter season. 

Admission to the fair is $5 for ages 13 and over and free for anyone 12 and under. Food and dessert vendors will offer tempting choices. Come enjoy the day with your family and friends while supporting local artists, craftsmen, and the Shadows-on-the-Teche.
