Port Lavaca Art Guild will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of its Annual Arts, Crafts, and Antiques Festival by the Bay on November 5 and 6. Vendors will display fine arts, hand crafted items, plants and antiques from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. each day at the Bauer Community Center in Port Lavaca.

Visitors to the festival may bring an antique for a free appraisal between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. A new event, the Wacky Raffle, of arts, crafts and gift items will benefit the Art Guild’s studio maintenance.

This year, seafood gumbo will be served by Art Guild members along with their famous Chicken and Dumplings and homemade desserts.
