This year, for its 48th anniversary, the Snowflake Boutique is looking to be big as ever. The event, which annually kicks off the holiday season, is set for Nov 1st and 2nd, 2024 at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds & Expo Center in Redmond in the South Sisters building. The show is open from 1 to 8 p.m. Nov. 1st and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 2nd. Admission is $4.00, which also entitles each visitor a chance to win handmade crafts donated by each Snowflake member.
What began as a few friend selling crafts from their home in 1975 has evolved into a major Central Oregon event looked forward to by thousands of people.
The Snowflake Boutique is unique in many ways. It is a club, not a business. Club members donate their time to organize, set up and run this arts and crafts show. Consignors are “juried” to assure that their handcrafted items are of the highest quality and are not duplicates of another consignor's craft. We usually have over 75 consignors and members that take part in the show, each one with their own unique style that almost guarantees the perfect gift for you or someone special.
Don't mistake “Boutique” for “Bazaar”. The Snowflake Boutique differs from a bazaar in that items are intermingled for maximum ambience rather than segregated in booths. Common themes include: Christmas, fishing, sports, floral arrangements, tree decorations, autumn, holiday, kitchen, garden, pets, western – and everything in-between. What can you expect to find: ornaments, stained glass, quilts, furniture, bird houses, clothing, purses, wood carvings, doll clothes, metal work, ceramics, handmade soaps and candles, jewelry, one-of-a-kind decorations, and lots of Santa's, snowmen and angels -- just to name a few.
No need to pull your wallet out every time you find something you want – just pay one time as you exit (we even take debit and credit cards).
The not for profit organization that presents the Snowflake Boutique each year donates the post-expense proceeds to local charities throughout Central Oregon.
Snowflake always welcomes new crafters. Items are selected by a jury process. Please refer to our website for more information.
If you've not had the pleasure of experiencing this event, please reserve the time to do so. Your one stop shopping center “Snowflake Boutique” is a wonderful beginning to the holiday season and a delight for the senses.
