Cherokee Trail High School 2025 Fall Craft Fair

Aurora, CO — On Saturday, November 15th, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the halls of Cherokee Trail High School will once again transform into one of Colorado’s most vibrant destinations for creativity and community connection, the 2025 Fall Craft Fair.

Now recognized as one of the premier craft fairs in the state, the event brings together more than 250 talented artisans, makers, and local small businesses, each offering unique, handcrafted goods that celebrate artistry and imagination in every form, from fine jewelry and home décor to seasonal gifts, gourmet foods, textiles, and artwork.

But the heart of this event beats even stronger this year, thanks to two inspiring new features:

The Young Entrepreneurs Showcase

This fall, Cherokee Trail PTCO proudly introduces the Young Entrepreneurs Showcase, giving elementary and middle school students the opportunity to participate as vendors, many for the very first time. These young innovators will share their creative products and business ideas, learning first-hand what it means to bring an idea to life and connect with a community of makers.

We wanted to give students a platform to experience entrepreneurship in a real, meaningful way. These kids are incredible, they’re not just selling crafts; they’re learning confidence, creativity, and leadership.

Community Spotlight Presentations

Throughout the day, guests can also enjoy a series of Community Spotlight Presentations featuring local leaders and experts sharing updates, insights, and inspiration about what’s happening across Aurora and the Cherry Creek School District.

Scheduled presenters include:

• Mayor Mike Coffman, highlighting the exciting developments and growth within the City of Aurora.
• Superintendent Christopher Smith, sharing the district’s 75th Anniversary Celebration and a look at the future of education in Cherry Creek Schools.
• CCIC (Cherry Creek Innovation Campus) Vice Principal​,​ Jennifer Minor unveiling plans for the new career pathways and campus expansion coming in 2026–2027.
• Local Realtor Mike Smith, providing a snapshot of current real estate trends and what families can expect in the local housing market this winter.

These sessions are open to all fair attendees and will run throughout the day inside the Cougar Resource Center at the high school.

A Celebration with Purpose

Every dollar raised through the Craft Fair directly supports teacher grants, classroom resources, and educational enhancements at Cherokee Trail High School. Last year alone, the PTCO provided over $36,000 in grants, funding 3D printers, art equipment, science tools, and more, enriching classrooms across the school.
