Kay Weber presents the 46th annual Thanksgiving Art and Craft Show from Friday, Nov. 27, through Sunday, Nov. 29, 2026, at the Belle Clair Expo Building in Belleville. The show runs from 3–8 p.m. on Nov. 27 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 28 and 29. This is one of the largest indoor craft shows in Southern Illinois.
“It’s a huge display of wonderful people who have done their own product, made their own thing. That’s a prerequisite to come to this show. You have to have your own product that you’re going to sell,” Weber said. “Those people who are in my show, they’re my people. I say, if you’re in my show, you’re my people, because they're very important to me.”
Parking is free and admission costs $5 each day. Kids ages 12 and under are free.
Weber noted that you can find a wide array of “unusual” and “original” crafts, from wreaths to pottery to dough ornaments. She believes the show is a great chance to do some holiday shopping.
She expressed her gratitude to the artisans and crafters who participate in the show every year. One woman has been a part of the show for 46 years. Others are newer additions, but everyone who joins Weber becomes a part of her family.
“These people are my friends,” she said. “They’re important to me, and I follow them with their problems through the year. We get to go through it together.”
Additionally, the show is full of talented people who create impressive products and art. Weber is proud to showcase their work. She hopes every person enjoys sharing their work with the community, and she is delighted to play a role in that.
“Many of them are very, very talented,” she added. “This is a way that they can get their product out to people. That’s why it’s such an easy job for me, because these are happy people. They’re doing what they want to do, and that makes a difference. They're happy people.”
Because each vendor must make their own products, the crafts and art are unique. Weber is always seeking “new and original” ideas. Though this year’s craft show is full, she noted you can visit the official website for more information, including how to become a vendor in the future.
“We’re always looking for the new people who are going to make the show exciting,” she said. “We’re always looking for new and different and unusual crafts.”
