The Candy Dance Craft Faire is the craft-focused component of the long-running Candy Dance community festival held along Main Street in Minden, Nevada. Rooted in the Candy Dance tradition that began in nearby Genoa in 1919, the craft fair—added in 1974—brings together hundreds of artisan vendors, family activities, and local food, making it a major fall festival in the Carson Valley. Organized by local community groups, the event celebrates regional craftsmanship and small-town heritage and draws visitors from across northern Nevada.
