MEMPHIS—The Pink Palace Crafts Fair, the Mid-South’s largest juried arts and crafts fair, is returning to the Pink Palace Museum & Mansion for its 54th year, September 25–27, 2026.

First held on the Pink Palace Mansion lawn in 1973, the Pink Palace Crafts Fair has been a high point of Memphis’ fall arts scene for over 50 years. The annual fundraiser benefits the Pink Palace Museum.

“The Pink Palace Crafts Fair is more than just a tradition; it is a centerpiece of our nonprofit’s annual fundraising efforts and a vital way we connect with the Memphis community,” said Jeff King, interim executive director of MoSH.

“Welcoming this beloved event back to the museum grounds is incredibly meaningful for all of us at the Pink Palace. We are thrilled to invite families and art lovers alike to experience the intersection of history, science, and creativity in this iconic setting.”

In addition to seeing creations from over 100 artisans from around the country, Pink Palace Crafts Fair ticketholders will gain free admission to the Pink Palace Museum & Mansion’s permanent collections on the date of their ticket. $5 add-ons for the Planetarium, the Giant Screen Theater, and the Brick Dinos traveling exhibition will also be available for purchase.

“Returning to the museum grounds allows us to fully align the crafts fair’s mission of showcasing historical crafts and supporting local and regional arts with MoSH’s educational mission,” said Pam Dickey, chairman of the Pink Palace Crafts Fair.

“We are excited to see the lawn transformed into a vibrant, open-air gallery, bringing artists from across the country together to share their talents with our community.”

“We are grateful to the community for supporting the Crafts Fair in our Audubon Park location, and we look forward to bringing that same spirit of creativity back to the museum’s beautiful lawn and Mansion where our legacy began.”

The fair attracts artists from across the country and features shopping, demonstrations, food, and family activities with thousands of visitors over the three days. To accommodate anticipated crowds, the Pink Palace Crafts Fair will offer University of Memphis satellite parking with complimentary shuttle service between the campus and museum.
