Pinners California Returning to Pomona Fairplex Aug. 23-24, 2024

Event Features 300+ Artisans, Vendors and Presenters Offering 100+ Specialty Classes & DIY Seminars


LOS ANGELES, CA (June 18, 2024) – Pinners Conference and Expo returns to Southern California at the

Pomona Fairplex (1101 W McKinley Ave, Pomona) promising DIY enthusiasts and creatives and a weekend

packed with hands-on workshops, innovative presentations and plentiful shopping opportunities.

From 10am- 8pm Friday, Aug. 23 and 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24 at the annual event brings together

foodies, crafters, artists and creatives to feature more than 300 vendors sharing their wares and 100+ classes.

Offering instruction and guidance on everything from jewelry-making and party-planning to knitting,

crocheting and cake-decorating, Pinners is the ultimate destination for anyone looking to expand their skills

and creativity in a lively, supportive setting.


"We're thrilled to bring Pinners back to Southern California for another exciting year of creativity and

community,” said Pinners CEO Roxanne Bennett. “A celebration of craftsmanship and innovation, Pinners

promises an inspiring weekend where likeminded locals can come together to learn, create and connect.”

Many of the classes and workshops offered at Pinners aren’t easily found at craft stores, community colleges

or boutiques, giving attendees a rare chance to develop specialized skills and techniques under the direct

tutelage of professional artisans and instructors. Learn to craft Halloween-themed home décor or a festive

Christmas tree tray during hands-on workshops, or master the art of calligraphy, brush lettering or macrame in

a series of special classes and instructional seminars, among near-countless other opportunities.


“If you’ve ever admired the craftsmanship showcased on Pinterest and imagined bringing your own creative

visions to life, here’s your chance to learn from the pros and transform your ideas into reality," said Bennett.

"Whether you come with a specific goal in mind or are seeking inspiration on the spot, Pinners guarantees a

wealth of workshops and activities with something sure to appeal to everyone.”
