SMITHVILLE FIDDLERS' JAMBOREE®

Smithville Jamboree and Crafts Festival offers arts and crafts from national, regional and local artists. Our focus is on many art genres which include pottery, jewelry, woodwork, and regional based art & crafts. The representatives of the Arts Committee are committed to presenting the best in skilled craftsmanship and educational craft instruction. All arts and crafts are required to be hand-crafted and are jurored by the Arts Committee in order to be accepted. Failure to comply will terminate future acceptance for booth space at the Smithville Fiddlers' Jamboree.
