32nd Annual Santa's North Pole Village Craft Show


Santa’s North Pole Village Craft Sale is one of Iowa’s largest, held at three different locations including Northview Middle School, Parkview Middle School, and Prairie Ridge Middle School. There will be a shuttle running between all three locations throughout the day. Admission to the event is $5.

This craft sale is the Ankeny Art Center’s biggest fundraiser of the year. This event began several decades ago as a means to raise operational funds for the Ankeny Art Center. This event brings 5,000-10,000 visitors to the community each year, along with supporting other local non-profit groups. There are 300 crafters and vendors in attendance at this event, from fine art crafters to jewelry, candle makers and more. The cafeteria opens at 8 am and there is an array of food vendors throughout the event as well.  Sorry no baby strollers.
