West Craft Fest (formerly Go West! Craft Fest) was started by Wilder, Mike and Emily Dorn from VIX Emporium. We are an independent Craft Market that happens 2 times a year, spring and winter. We started off in Cedar Park for the first year in 2011 for the spring and the fall. Then in 2012 moved toThe Woodlands. Mike and Wilder had been coordinating the Winter Craft Fair at the Rotunda since 2007 and the Fest was there since 2011-2023. Now the winer market is outside Black Hound Clay Studio. Our focus is for local crafters and artists to have another forum for their amazing works, and for our West Philadelphia neighborhood to have a fun, unique kid & adult friendly event. We love old fashioned music at out outdoor Fests we try to have a fun mix of that and circus arts, since we started at The Woodlands tinycircus has performed their amazing aerialist feats. We strive to have a fun mix of talent, much of it West Philly based! Check out West Craft Fest for more information. Find us virtually on Instagram
Our next Fest is Saturday & Sunday, Dec 13& 14 2025 outside Black Hound Clay Studio & the Firehouse.
