About Us

Celebrating 50+ Years of Extraordinary Events!

Gilmore Shows is a family-run promotion company (3 generations!) that takes pride in producing quality festivals and consumer events across the Southeast. Hosting nine events annually, all indoor, in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, we strive to find the perfect balance and variety to set up the show for success and delight for exhibitors and patrons alike. Our Craftsmen’s Classic Art & Craft Festivals showcase hundreds of talented creators, where you’ll find something truly unique. Holiday Markets are a dazzling display of holiday treats and treasures, featuring everything on your holiday wish list – even visits with Santa!

About Us

In The Beginning...

The Craftsmen's Classic organization was founded 35 years ago by the Gilmore family of Greensboro, NC. Clyde Gilmore, a jewelry maker, wanted to create a "family" of artists and craftsmen, nationwide, that could stage indoor festivals showcasing their totally original works and interact one-on-one with the public. The first such event, the "granddaddy" and prototype of all the others on today's schedule, was the Christmas Classic, Thanksgiving Weekend, at the Greensboro Coliseum.

Now...

There are now 10 Craftsmen's Classics held annually and throughout the year in Columbia and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Richmond, Roanoke and Chantilly, Virginia and Greensboro, North Carolina. Produced by Gilmore Enterprises, Inc., headquartered in the city of Greensboro, the organization is managed by the late founder's son, Executive Director Clyde Gilmore III, one of the crafts and fine arts industry's most acclaimed and award-winning promoters. The Classic events have been named more often than those of any other promoter to the "200 Best" list by the prestigious Sunshine Artist Magazine and have been named often as "Top 20 Events" by the Southeast Tourism Society. Gilmore can also calculate success by the longevity of the Classics -- most of which are in their 15th to 25th year or more -- and by the tens of thousands of visitors that eagerly anticipate them and attend, year after year.
The hallmark of the shows, from the beginning, is creative excellence and absolute originality in every specialty. Clyde and his wife, Tami, design each Classic with a fine balance of crafts and fine art and the specialties within those areas. There is careful thought given to a balance of traditional and contemporary works as well. More than 6,000 of the country's finest artisans are members; depending on the size of the facility, there are between 300 and 550 participants in a Craftsmen's Classic show.

So when people wonder what Santa Claus does when not at the North Pole, this is it! He and Mrs. Claus hang with the Gilmores! It is always a delightful pleasure to visit with thousands of interested shoppers and fans. And this year we added Myrtle Beach to our schedule so you can see us even earlier! We love Craftsmen's Classics and can't wait to visit with you!

Tina Wilson
Thank you for the awesome show last weekend in Richmond! This was our first show with you and we loved it! Not only were our sales great but so was everything else. Your marketing really drove traffic into the show. All of your staff was friendly and helpful. We really felt like we belonged right away! You're so organized. Set up and tear down was a breeze! Thank you so much for being so friendly and kind.
M.B., Craftsmen's Classic Exhibitor
We had a great time this year! Well organized shows, happy customers, total great experience.
J.P.F, Craftsmen's Classic Exhibitor
Thank you ALL so much for making the 2021 Christmas Classic in Richmond such an OUTSTANDING SUCCESS! It was my best Craftsmen's show EVER! In addition it was my 3rd best show of 2021 and my 7th best show of ALL TIME! THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU! Question: How did y'all get that many people, that many buyers in the doors all three days?!? I could not believe my eyes 👀 at the number of people there all weekend! And they were buying! How did you do it? It had to be more than just advertising dollars. Whatever y'all did, keep doing it for this show.
K.W., Craftsmen's Classic Exhibitor
Thanks to you & the entire team for another outstanding show. Well-organized, vendor-centered & gobs of foot traffic! I want to, especially, thank you for having the team of volunteers who roamed the floor frequently checking in with me to see if I needed a quick break. While I didn't take full advantage of every check-in, just knowing someone would stop by, was very comforting.
D.M., Craftsmen's Classic Exhibitor
Just a quick note to tell you what a great show I had. I don't think we ever experienced as many sales as we did on Friday. (We) were both exhausted -- happy -- but exhausted. I know you are heading into the next show, and I cannot imagine how tired you guys are. But, you all did a great job of getting the shoppers in and helping us sell. Thank you so much!
D.P., Craftsmen's Classic Exhibitor
