Ridgway Rendezvous Art & Crafts Festival 41st

Celebrating its 41st year, the Ridgway Rendezvous Art & Craft Festival is a beloved summer tradition in southwest Colorado. Hosted by Weehawken Creative Arts, this highly regarded juried festival is known for its commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, original design, and high-quality handmade work that cannot be easily found elsewhere in the region. Artists consistently describe the Ridgway Rendezvous as “one of the best shows of the year,” praising both sales and the welcoming, well-organized atmosphere. The festival attracts an affluent and engaged audience, including local and regional art collectors, second homeowners, and visitors from across the United States who seek meaningful, handcrafted art experiences beyond urban markets. Set in the charming mountain town of Ridgway along the scenic Million Dollar Highway, the event benefits from strong destination tourism and coincides with the nearby Telluride Jazz Festival, further expanding its reach and visibility. Saturday 9am-5pm Sunday 10am-4pm
