KANSAS CITY, MO, UNITED STATES, May 30, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- The Historic Westport Entertainment District will host its first Strawberry Swing Indie Craft Fair this Friday and Saturday, June 3 through 4. The event will have over 30 local and regional artisans and makers on the streets at Westport and Pennsylvania. The curated group of makers come from all walks of life within the region, honing their handmade crafts of ceramics, clothing, jewelry, paintings, wood-worked and metal-smithed items, crafted leather goods, and more.

The fair offers a platform for visitors to interact with artisans and makers and experience the wide selection of artistic styles and mediums incorporated into the handmade goods.

Strawberry Swing owner, Katie Mabry van Dieron, has hosted these events all over Kansas City for 13 years. “Strawberry Swing has fostered an array of talented creators with diverse backgrounds and handmade goods,” said Mabry van Dieron. “Westport and Strawberry Swing’s inclusivity and diversity make this union a welcoming mix of eclectic offerings and talent at the fair and the stores.”

"Visitors of Westport will enjoy a pleasant stroll through this historic area while checking out the creators’ quality-made items, popular stores, and restaurants," said Lexie Boyd, Special Events Manager of the Westport Entertainment District. "As the district approaches almost 200 years of existence, the Strawberry Swing Fair and other events remind visitors why this District has the long-standing reputation as a gathering place for adventure and fun."
