The third annual Brandywine Holiday Festival of the Arts is poised to bring a fun-filled weekend of creativity, community and holiday spirit to Wilmington’s Riverfront. The event invites families, gift-shoppers and art enthusiasts to experience more than 150 local artists and artisans showcasing handmade, one-of-a-kind gifts. The hours are Saturday, Dec. 20, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Chase Center on the Wilmington Riverfront. Admission is $5 per day, and children 12 and under can enter for free.

The artists and artisans will have original paintings, sculpture, photography, jewelry, woodworking and more for sale. There will be engaging activities for the entire family—including children’s crafts, face-painting and interactive activities. Artisan food vendors will be offering samples of their treats like caramels, macarons, fudge, nut butters, chocolates and more. It’s the perfect opportunity to support local artisans and artists and find meaningful gifts while

enjoying the holiday spirit.
