Kanawha City Lions Club

Experience the wonder of a child at Christmas. Smell the scents of canales, gingerbread, meats and cheeses, fudg e and funnelcakes, herbs and applebutter. Listen to the cheerful tinkle of windchimes, the low ticking of a grandfather clock, the ringing melody of a dulcimer. Revel in the colors, the lights, the excitement of the Capital City Art and Craft Show.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary as the state’s largest indoor exhibition, the Capital City Art and Craft Show features the works of over 150 artisans from West Virginia and several other states.

Something for everyone on your Christmas list can be found among the top-quality one-of-a-kind items you can purchase directly from the craftsmen who created them. These artisans often show works-in-progress and provide demonstrations of their unique skills.
Long lines are never a problem at the show’s Charleston Civic Center location, so convenient to parking and three interstate highways. That’s why more than 20,000 visitors return year after year in November for the Friday through Sunday event.

Expect the unusual - from fused glass that creates quilt patterns for jewelry to furniture that includes children’s rockers, cabinets and Shaker-style tables, from dolls to decorated jackets, from hand carved knives and walking canes to handmade paper, hand-knit sweaters and hand-painted shirts.
Paintings of all types, pottery, puff baskets and porcelain, leather goods and decorative clothing, carrousels, caricatures and cookbooks - they’re all here, along with special foods including almonds and peanut brittle, candy apples and coffee, glazes, honey, jellies, sauces, root beer, wine, vinegar, funnel cakes and snack dips.

More than just a show…
the Kanawha City Lions Club - sponsored event includes free visual screenings through out the weekend and provides the organization with funds for such state and local charities as the West Virginia Lions Sight and Hearing Conservation Foundation
