Fall Maker's Market and 3rd Anniversary Celebration
Some places just feel like autumn — and Kennedy Family Farms is one of them. Pumpkin patch wandering. Hot cider warming your hands. That crisp air that makes you reach for your favorite sweater. This year, they're celebrating three years of bringing small-town magic to life, and we're honored to be part of the story.
Join us as we set up among incredible local makers for a day steeped in seasonal goodness. Our table will be filled with handcrafted soaps and botanicals perfect for gifting — or for treating yourself as the season turns. There's something about autumn on a farm that invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and remember what matters: good people, good craft, and the simple joy of being together.
Bring the kids. Bring your besties. Make it a cozy date. However you come, come ready to celebrate — the season, the makers, and three beautiful years of this little farm market that's become a community treasure.

Southern Charm at the Farm Fall 2026
When October rolls in with golden light and that unmistakable crispness in the air, there's only one place to be — out at the farm, surrounded by the heartbeat of the handmade community. Fall Southern Charm at the Farm gathers hundreds of local makers under open skies for a day that celebrates everything we love about this season and this craft.
Picture it: food trucks sending savory aromas across the field, live music setting the rhythm for your wandering, and table after table of treasures made by hands that care. You'll find us there with our signature botanicals — autumn-inspired soaps, nourishing body butters, and skincare crafted to carry you through the cozy months ahead. This is the kind of day where you arrive for the shopping and stay for the soul.
Bring your people. Wear your boots. Fill your bags with local goodness and your heart with the joy of supporting makers who pour love into everything they create. We can't wait to welcome you to our table.

Festival By The Sea 2026 Day 1
There's a reason this one holds a special place in our hearts. When the salt air fills your lungs and the sound of waves becomes the backdrop to your browsing, you know you've arrived somewhere magical. Festival by the Sea draws us back year after year — two days of coastal charm, creative souls, and the kind of joy only a beach town festival can deliver.
Day one stretches long and unhurried, the way beach days should. Wander through local art, let live music carry you from booth to booth, and discover handcrafted treasures while the ocean breeze keeps you company. You'll find us there with our botanicals — soaps that carry stories, body butters that nourish, and skincare crafted with the same intention we bring to every market, every mile we travel.
Start your festival weekend with sand between your toes and something beautiful in your hands. We'll be waiting with a warm welcome and a table full of treasures.
🌊 Local Art | Live Entertainment | Delicious Food | Family-Friendly Fun
Festival By The Sea 2026 Day 2
The best weekends deserve a second act. Day two of Festival by the Sea arrives with that golden October light and the promise of one more sun-soaked afternoon by the shore. If you found us yesterday, come back and say hello. If you're just arriving — welcome to one of our favorite events of the year.
There's something about the final day of a festival that feels both celebratory and bittersweet. The crowds linger a little longer. The conversations go a little deeper. The treasures on our table find their way to hands that will cherish them. We'll be here until the last wave of shoppers, grateful for every face, every story, every connection made where the land meets the sea.
Close out the festival with us. Take home something crafted with care — and maybe a little bit of that coastal magic, too.

11th Annual Francisco FarmFest 2026
For eleven years, the rolling hills of Northwest Stokes County have welcomed neighbors, friends, and wanderers to one of the most heartfelt gatherings of the season. Francisco FarmFest is where community roots run deep — where heirloom apple trees stand alongside handmade quilts, where local honey shares table space with artisan soaps, and where everyone truly means everyone.
We're honored to return to this beloved celebration, bringing our handcrafted botanicals to a place that feels like home. Stop by our table to explore nourishing body butters, gentle sugar scrubs, and bars of soap made with the same care these farming families pour into their land. And keep an eye on those raffle tables — we've donated a SunStar Soapery gift collection that just might find its way into your hands.
This is the kind of day that reminds you why small towns and small businesses matter. Good people. Good craft. Good earth beneath your feet. We'll see y'all there.
Hosted by Our Communities of NW Stokes 🌻
Camel City Artisan Market
There's something about a craft beer in hand and handmade treasures spread before you that just feels right. As the afternoon light filters through the tasting room and the first hints of autumn settle into Winston-Salem, Autumn Artisans brings together the best of local craft, poured and handcrafted alike.
Join us at Foothills Brewing Tasting Room, where the Camel City's finest makers gather for an afternoon of discovery. We'll be there with our botanicals and handcrafted skincare. Our soaps infused with intention, body butters that nourish, and seasonal favorites perfect for gifting (or keeping). Sip something local. Wander the tables. Find something beautiful you didn't know you needed.
This is Winston-Salem at its finest: creative, community-driven, and just a little bit hoppy. We'll save you a spot at our table.

September Artisan and Craft Fair
There's a moment every year when summer loosens its grip and the air carries something new: a crispness, a promise, an invitation to gather. September Artisan and Craft Fair is that moment wrapped in a Saturday afternoon. Over forty local artisans beneath the trees, good food drifting on the breeze, and the kind of fellowship that turns strangers into neighbors and neighbors into friends.
You'll find us there among the wagon wheels with tables laden with autumn favorites, signature collections, and a few seasonal surprises. Run your fingers across bars crafted with sunflower oil and whole-plant botanicals. Breathe in fragrances that tell stories of citrus mornings and warm amber evenings. Find something beautiful for someone you love, or for yourself.
Come for the vendors. Stay for the connection. Leave with a full heart and perhaps a little something that reminds you, You Deserve Beautiful Skincare®.
Hosted with love by Purple Wagon 💜
Music Bingo Fall 2026
Some nights just have all the right ingredients — cold craft beer, great tunes, a little friendly competition, and the chance to discover something beautiful. Rhodes Entertainment brings their legendary Music Bingo to Fiddlin' Fish Brewing, and we're setting up shop to make the evening even sweeter.
Here's how it works: the songs play, you dab your card, and somewhere between belting out the chorus and shouting "BINGO!" you wander over to our table. We'll be there with handcrafted soaps, nourishing botanicals, and skincare treasures perfect for treating yourself after a winning streak — or consoling yourself after a near miss. Either way, you leave smelling amazing.
This is a Thursday night done right. Good music. Good brews. Good people. And a little handcrafted luxury to carry home with you. Grab your friends, warm up your vocal cords, and come play with us.

Stardust Festival
Imagine a day where the mountains come alive with music. Where the air carries the scent of craft, community, and possibility. Where strangers become friends over shared melodies, where local makers showcase their heart's work, and where time stretches out in the best possible way.
That's what Stardust Cellars and Haggard Booking have created—a gathering that celebrates everything that makes the Carolinas special. Twenty bands, each bringing their own voice, their own story, their own magic to the mountain air. Food trucks fueling the day. Mead flowing like liquid gold. And craft vendors—makers like us—sharing the things we've poured ourselves into.
There's something about live music that strips away the noise of everyday life and reminds you what matters. It's the same reason we make what we make: to create moments that linger, that feel real, that connect you to something deeper. When you're standing in the mountains listening to a band that moves you, surrounded by people who appreciate handmade beauty, that's when life feels most alive.
SunStar Soapery will be there with our full collection—our soaps, our skincare rituals, our whole philosophy made tangible. Come experience the textures, the scents, the stories. Meet us in person, where the real magic happens. Let the music move you while you discover products that nourish your skin and your soul.
This is a day for slowing down, for connecting, for remembering why we gather together.
HAFO Release Party
Every great idea has a origin story. And HAFO's begins right here—in conversations over craft beer, in the warmth of a space built for connection, in the kind of community that inspires you to create something meaningful.
Southern Drift Brewing Company is where the spark happened. Where Matt and Amber's vision of slowing down and building genuine connection planted a seed in our minds about what grooming could be. What if a beard oil could carry that same spirit? What if it could honor the craft, the intention, the sense of belonging that this place represents?
That's HAFO. A beard oil infused with hops—the very ingredient that defines Southern Drift's identity. When you use HAFO, you're not just caring for your beard. You're carrying forward a philosophy: that quality matters, that community matters, that the rituals we build around ourselves should feel intentional and real.
The hops bring something special. A warmth. A subtle earthiness. A connection to the craft and the place where this whole journey began. Every application is a small reminder that the best things in life come from people who care deeply about what they create.
There's poetry in releasing HAFO exactly where it was born—surrounded by the people and the place that inspired it, sharing a beer with friends who understand why this matters.
Join us as we celebrate the full circle: from inspiration to creation, from idea to reality, from Southern Drift's community to yours.
July Summer Night Market
There's something magical about summer evenings—when the air softens, the light turns golden, and the world feels like it's moving just a little slower. A summer night market captures that feeling perfectly: the gentle hum of conversation, the discovery of handmade treasures, the sense that you've stumbled into something special.
Wiseman Brewing becomes more than a brewery on this night. It transforms into a gathering place where local makers, artisans, and creators come together to share their craft. The kind of evening where you wander from vendor to vendor, each discovery feeling like a small gift. Where you might find yourself in conversation with someone who makes something beautiful, learning the story behind their work, understanding why they pour their heart into what they create.
This is what Colorfully Southern does so beautifully—they curate experiences that celebrate the makers, the doers, the people who believe that handmade matters. And when you add Wiseman Brewing's welcoming spirit and carefully crafted beers to the mix, you get an evening that feels both intentional and effortless.
SunStar Soapery will be there with our full collection—our botanical soaps, our skincare rituals, our whole-plant philosophy made tangible. Come experience the textures, the scents, the stories behind each bar. Meet us in person, where the real magic happens.
Bring your summer spirit, your curiosity, and your willingness to slow down for an evening that celebrates the beauty of handmade.
Southern Drift Brewing Launch Party
Picture this: a moment when a beloved gathering place pauses, takes a breath, and steps into its next chapter. That's what's happening at Southern Drift Brewing Company this July—a celebration of evolution, community, and the beautiful courage it takes to reimagine yourself.
For those who've found sanctuary in what was once Radar Brewing, this rebrand isn't goodbye. It's a deeper hello. Matt Armbruster's vision has always been about creating more than a brewery—it's been about crafting a space where time slows down, where strangers become friends, and where every visit feels like coming home. Southern Drift Brewing Company is the natural expression of that mission, a name that captures the essence of what this place has always been: a gathering current that draws people together.
The rebrand launch is an invitation to witness this transformation firsthand. You'll experience the same warmth, the same commitment to craft, the same magic that made Radar special—only now it has a name that truly reflects its soul. Under Brewmaster Jacob Schmiederer's skilled hands, the beers remain exceptional. Under Matt and Amber's hospitality, the community spirit only deepens. The space still invites you to linger, to connect, to celebrate life's simple pleasures.
This isn't just a rebrand. It's a love letter to everyone who's ever felt at home in this Industry Hill gem.
Join us as SunStar Soapery celebrates this beautiful new beginning with our friends at Southern Drift Brewing Company.

Winter Break
Winter Break: A Time for Gratitude & Renewal December 22, 2025 - End of January 2026
As we wrap up an absolutely incredible 2025, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for each and every one of you who has made this year so extraordinary.
From building our dream formulation space to launching the Rooted Liora facial line, from earning our registered trademark for "You Deserve Beautiful Skincare®" to watching our community grow - none of it would have been possible without your trust, support, and enthusiasm for what we do.
We're taking a well-deserved winter break from December 22nd through at least the end of January to recharge, spend time with family, and prepare for an exciting 2026. During this time, our online store will still be open, but we won't be attending markets or events.
But don't worry - we'll be back with fresh energy, new formulations in development (hello, barrier repair serum!), and the same commitment to creating skincare that truly serves you.
Thank you for an unforgettable year. Thank you for believing in our small family business. Thank you for reminding us daily why we do this work.
Rest well, take care of your beautiful skin, and we'll see you in 2026!
With endless gratitude,
Erin & the SunStar Family
