Hand-blown glass creations.  Award-winning quilted work.  Handmade pottery and jewelry, ornaments, wreaths, gifts from the garden…AND homemade food.

Tempting?  Absolutely.  And it’s all happening this weekend, as Muir Beach hosts their Muir Beach Holiday Arts Fair!

A tradition in Muir Beach for more than 40 years, this year’s Holiday Arts Fair happens Saturday and Sunday, December 7th and 8th, at Muir Beach Community Center.  More than 40 exhibiting Bay Area and Marin artists, carolers, and live glassblowing demonstrations, along with breathtaking ocean views, will all be a part of the experience.

And on Saturday, singer/songwriter/multiinstrumentalist Marla Beck will be strolling the Fair as she performs.  In addition to her musical gifts, talented Marla is a life coach, guiding women who want to make their creativity a priority.

More than 40 years ago, the award-winning  Muir Beach Quilters started the Muir Beach Holiday Arts Fair.  Today, it continues under the stewardship of the Muir Beach community.  (And the Muir Beach Quilters will be there, selling their gorgeous handmade quilts, dolls and scarves!)

In addition, visitors will get a chance to support a fantastic cause.

The Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department will be on hand, selling items which include their popular dog-logo clothing, hats, sustainable stainless cups and water bottles.  (All of the above help fund the Fire Department, and you can get a look, both at their official MBVFD products and their community service, on their website!)

Admission to the Muir Beach Holiday Arts Fair is free, and there will be a free shuttle service for anyone who needs a ride.

One more plus?  Besides being fun, creative, delicious (with all that homemade food) and unique, the Muir Beach Holiday Arts Fair raises funds to support community events!

 

The Muir Beach Holiday Arts Fair happens Saturday, December 7th, from 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday, December 8th, from 10 am to 4 pm, at the Muir Beach Community Center, 19 Seascape, southwest of Shoreline Highway, in Muir Beach.  Admission is free.
