Friends of the Fiber Festival
Help us reach our goal of 250 friends for 2024.
Making things better. Together.
As the oldest and largest continual Fiber Festival in Mississippi- we thank our FRIENDS for helping us get this far.
Our Friends help support our year-round programming, our kids’ Take and Make kits, our online community, and our annual festival even through the pandemic and ice storm. We could not do it without you.
Everyone is Welcome.
In 2022 our Friends program allowed us to remove the previous entry fee and host more than a dozen online programs. In 2023 they launched our free Sew Community program. We think that everyone should be able to participate in our programming. In 2024 they kept our festival alive even though we were iced out. Imagine what we can do in 2025.
Our Friends Brought Games to the Festival.
From our Color Challenge to Fiber Challenge to our Festival Crawl and County Fair Style Competitions, our friends always receive game cards to play, and free entries into our contests.
Friends for Everyone
With three levels of participation, there is space for everyone. Whether you join us in person on January 23-25, 2024, online, or just in spirit, we welcome you to the coolest club in town.
Our Friends allow our festival to continue year after year. Without their support, we would struggle. The last few years have not been easy for makers or markets, but our Friends have never let us down and we will continue to grow because of them.
