Crane Craft and Nature Fair

The 2026 – 43rd Annual Crane Festival will be held March 6th through March 8th.

The Monte Vista Chamber of Commerce will hold the Craft and Nature Fair as part of this event.

You won’t believe how much fun the Crane Fest is. Colorado’s oldest birding Festival! You can help us celebrate the annual migration of Sandhill Cranes by selling your works of art, crafted jewelry, fiber ware, photography, carvings, fine baked goods, and so much more at our Craft and Nature Fair.  In addition, home and garden vendors will add to the selections at the show!

Calling all home maintenance & improvement businesses, garden supply centers, landscaping services, supply businesses, and outdoor living & recreation products. We want you at our exposition. Customers often need to see what you have to offer before they will remember to visit your store or call on you for help.
