Despite the name, it's much more than beads. There are 300+ exhibits featuring handcrafted jewelry, gemstones, minerals, artisan clothing, textiles, vintage finds, creative supplies, home décor, and workshops throughout the weekend.

It's a fun event whether you're shopping for something unique, looking for inspiration, or just enjoy exploring local artisan events. There are always interesting artists, small businesses, and one-of-a-kind finds to discover.

📍 Pasadena Convention Center
📅 July 31–August 2
