The first of this year’s Village of Elgin Craft Artist Festivals will be held in the courtyard of the historic Elgin Winery and Distillery from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 23.
This is the kind of festival that’ll appeal to just about everyone.
There will be more than 12 local artisans and crafters selling beauty products, glass items, wine charms, horseshoe gifts, oil paintings, decorated wine bottles, wood signs, and so many other items you’ll have to see for yourself.
In addition to your shopping spree, the winery and distillery tasting rooms will be open for business. Elgin Winery’s newest sangria made with passionfruit will be released, too.
At each of the festivals, a portion of the vendors fees and other activities support the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors. TAPS offers help to those grieving the loss of a loved one who died while serving in our Armed Forces.
If you’re held up with a prior engagement and can’t make it out to this festival there are three other festivals happening in June, September, and November of this year.
The Village of Elgin Winery and Distillery is located at 471 Elgin Rd., Elgin, AZ 85611. For more information, follow the Village of Elgin Craft Artist Festival Facebook page.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
