Mark your calendar for a autumn celebration of local craft, food, and community spirit! The Extension Community Association (ECA) is thrilled to invite residents and visitors alike to the annual ECA Artisan Market on Saturday, October 3, 2026, hosted at the Citizens Resource Center in Dallas. Whether you are searching for one-of-a-kind early holiday gifts, updating your fall wardrobe, or simply looking for a lively weekend outing with family and friends, this year’s market offers a vibrant showcase of regional talent.
Visitors can spend the day exploring a diverse selection of vendor booths featuring handmade jewelry, original fine art, handcrafted purses, knitwear, and custom home crafts. If you're visiting the park, stop on in and browse our market. Grab lunch or a beverage from a local food truck parked on-site or come inside for cookies, brownies, and other sweet treats.
Every purchase made at the market directly supports local makers, small businesses, and the ongoing educational and community service initiatives led by the Gaston County Extension Community Association (ECA).
