Shadows-on-the-Teche's

Fall Arts & Craft Fair 2022

NEW IBERIA, La. --- The Shadows-on-the-Teche Fall Arts and Crafts Fair will take place in the Shadows gardens on Sat., Oct. 8 from 9 a.m.- 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 just in time for participants to start their holiday shopping.


"Come spend the day in downtown New Iberia with your family and friends while supporting local artists, craftsmen, and Shadows-on-the-Teche, said Jayd Buteaux, Shadows marketing and programs manager.


"Original art and woodwork, handmade jewelry, and candles make for perfect gifts for friends and family. Children’s clothing, bows, headbands, and dolls are great stocking stuffers for little ones. Homemade preserves, jellies, salsa, and oils are just the thing for those on your list that have everything else."


Admission to the fair is $5 per person (18 and older) and $3 for children (ages 6-17). Food and dessert vendors will offer tempting choices. After the fair, shoppers can take a short walk to Bouligny Plaza for the first day of the World Championship Gumbo Cookoff.


Any funds raised from this event will be used for the continued preservation and maintenance of the Shadows.
