This is the second year we’ve made it to North Aurora’s Creativity at the Crossroads, and it was even more of a delight! The event is a Saturday art and craft fair, set up at a park by the river and in dappled shade – which was a great relief in the 90-degree weather! – with all sorts of booths and stalls. Selling prints, naturally; stickers, pins, crocheted plushies… there was a stall that almost exclusively sold scrunchies, and another that specialized in bow ties! Because bow ties are cool.
While the event is now passed for this year, I expect it will be back and even larger in 2026! I hope so, anyway. And if you’re around North Aurora, IL when it is, come check it out!
