2026 and Beyond for Capital Art and Craft Festivals

We have entered a time of transition as the venue that has hosted the Capital Art and Craft Festivals closed at the end of 2025. We searched the Northern Virginia area for a new home for 2026 and beyond, and after careful consideration, we are happy to announce that we will be moving the festivals to the newly created DTC Expo, located at the Dulles Town Center in Sterling VA.

Our commitment to bringing you an exceptional experience remains unwavering, and we are excited about the possibilities ahead. 

Please stay connected through the Capital Art and Craft Festival website and our social media platforms for updates. Together, we will continue to celebrate the beauty of handmade art, tastes of specialty foods, and the incredible artists who make it possible.
