The story

Chimneyville Arts Festival in Ridgeland

Chimneyville Arts Festival opens with Preview Night before the main public browsing begins in Ridgeland, giving early visitors first access to juried work from Craftsmen's Guild of Mississippi members. Live demonstrations let you watch pieces take shape by hand rather than only seeing finished work, and every exhibitor has been vetted through the Guild's jury process.

You walk in and the first thing that catches you is motion: a hammer lifting, a basket taking shape, glass flashing under the lights, somebody leaning closer to watch a careful pair of hands finish a detail.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets Chimneyville apart is its Guild backing: every exhibitor is a juried member of the Craftsmen's Guild of Mississippi, so quality holds steady across quilts, baskets, fused glass, and metal sculpture rather than varying booth to booth

02

The mystery stays covered

Preview Night gives serious collectors first access before the wider public crowd arrives, and live demonstrations throughout the weekend let visitors watch technique in progress rather than only browsing finished pieces

03

The city starts moving

That mix of curated quality and hands-on process is what keeps nearly fifty years of return visitors coming back each fall
