Alys Beach Crafted was created to celebrate the collaboration of talents that come together to enrich the 30A experience. Now in its sixth year, Crafted will be a weekend of events here in Alys Beach, a gathering of renowned craftspeople from around the country sharing the process, the inspiration, and the product of their craft at the Firkin Fête, Spirited Soirée, Experiential Mixology Dinners, and the Holiday Makers Market. Alys Beach Crafted is pleased to announce that all proceeds will benefit one of our local non-profits, Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County. 

Crafted aims to bring us together in appreciation for the excellence and authenticity of the creative process, allowing us to pick up tricks-of-the-trade, add a new brew to our repertoire and add elegant, meticulously crafted goods to our collections. Refined and beautifully curated, Crafted events cultivate engagement with top artisans, distillers, brewers, chefs, and mixologists for unique, unmatched experiences and a sharing of the stories that craft tells.
