RIO LINDA — The rustic grounds of the Dry Creek Ranch House are set to transform into a bustling marketplace this May as the 5th Annual RLE Country Craft Faire returns to the heart of the community.
Organizers have scheduled the event for Saturday, May 23, 2026, promising a full day of commerce and community from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. With free parking and a wide array of local talent on display, the faire has become a staple for those looking to support regional artisans.
For the crafters of Rio Linda and Elverta, the RLE Country Craft Faire is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s the culmination of hundreds of hours spent at kitchen tables and backyard workshops. Whether it’s a meticulously carved birdhouse or a hand-poured candle, every item hitting the tables at the Dry Creek Ranch House on May 23 carries the story of a neighbor’s passion. For families attending, it’s a chance to trade the anonymity of online shopping for a handshake and a conversation with the person who actually built the toys their children will play with.
A Bounty of Local Goods
This year’s faire boasts an expansive directory of “hand-made crafters” and information booths. Attendees can expect to find:
- Home & Garden: Woodworking, metal art, birdhouses, quilts, and plants.
- Fashion & Beauty: Jewelry, clothes, purses, hair bows, and handmade soaps and lotions.
- Specialty Items: Toys, books, crochet items, and a selection of rocks and crystals.
- National Favorites: Scentsy, Tupperware, and Paparazzi.
Call for Vendors and Food Trucks
While the shopping list is long, the lineup isn’t quite finished. Event organizers are still seeking additional vendors and food trucks to round out the experience. Local businesses and mobile kitchens looking to reach a hometown audience are encouraged to apply.
