The Chimneyville Crafts Festival is held the first weekend in December at the Mississippi Trade Mart in Jackson, Mississippi. Over 185 booths showcase the finest talent in the country. Demonstrations graphically display some of the fascinating skills needed by master artisans. Crafts are available in a wide range of prices. Shoppers find everything from stocking stuffers to unique gifts reflecting Mississippi's heritage to useful and beautiful household objects and furnishings to exquisite, affordable art. Most craftsmen take orders for custom pieces to be made to the customer's specifications and some exhibitors sell wholesale to shop and gallery buyers. The Festival is continuously named a Top Twenty Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society.
