A holiday shopping trip at Brookfield East High School comes with a connection to the students who use its arts programs. The 50th annual Brookfield East Holiday Craft Fair takes place Sunday, November 8, 2026, bringing together handmade goods, student performances and support for fine arts and senior scholarships.
From pottery to seasonal decor
The juried fair is expected to host more than 180 vendors from across the Midwest. The organizer lists pottery, jewelry, textiles and woodworking among the handcrafted goods, as well as candles and seasonal decorations. Shoppers can look for holiday-specific pieces or browse work suited to use beyond the season.
For visitors looking for a particular exhibitor, the organizer provides 2026 vendor lists by business owner and business name. A fair map is planned, but was not yet posted.

The school’s arts connection
Brookfield East students in band, choir, drama and orchestra are scheduled to perform throughout the fair. Individual performance times and locations have not been announced, so anyone hoping to see a particular group should check for updates before making plans around it.
The fair also raises money for Brookfield East Fine Arts programs, including visual arts as well as the performing arts, and for senior scholarships. That gives the shopping event a purpose tied directly to its high school setting.
