    Sadly, this will be the last Sonora Christmas Crafts and Music Festival!! After 45 years, the Burleigh Family has decided to close it down and focus on their

    own needs. We can all agree with that, after all the hard work and love that they have put into making this event the joyous occasion that it has become.

    We wish the Burleigh family all the best in whatever calls to them. Come on out and enjoy the music, crafts, food and everything else that  Sonora Christmas

    Crafts and Music Festival has to offer. You will not be disappointed!
