There is no better way to kick off the holiday season then by attending the 4th annual 2014 Magic Hands Festival: Turner’s Holiday Show & Sale  at Casino New Brunswick Entertainment Center. This show is sanctioned by the New Brunswick Crafts Council and features the finest one-of-a-kind artisans from across eastern Canada . Hours are: Friday ( 5-9) ; Saturday ( 10-9 ) and Sunday ( 10-5 ). It features pottery, jewellery, woodworking, metalworks, and textiles . The arts-crafts-food-and-handmade extravaganza definitely puts me in the holiday spirit. With this year’s show coming up on November 14-16, 2014, I’m already waiting in anticipation!

What to expect: exploring through the rows and rows of vendors, sampling sweets, buying handmade products, checking out incredible art work, and talking to vendors about how they make their products. This event offers everything and anything for any shopper. Even for those who despise shopping. You’ll want to spend the entire weekend at the Magic Hands Festival. There is no other place I want to be that weekend.

Be sure to show up on opening day as many vendors sell out of some of their most popular products on the first day. For those who like a more relaxed browsing experience, attending on Sunday when there are fewer crowds would be the perfect time for you. There is nothing better than being able to support local artisans. Many exhibitors sell only once. It takes a lot of preparation for the many visitors.
