The annual Pomegranate Arts Festival will take over the Clark County Fairgrounds this Friday and Saturday, November 2-3.

The festival has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the Home Hardware parking lot in downtown Overton. For the last 23 years, the Pomegranate Festival has grown in size and popularity.

Hosted by the Moapa Valley Art Guild as a fundraiser for its scholarship programs, the Festival hosts over 120 vendor booths offering handmade items. More than 13 food vendors will be there featuring BBQ, tamales, frozen yogurt, funnel cakes, and much more.

Entertainment at the Festival is always a favorite. This year, several local dance groups will appear on the festival grounds. Also the Kickin’ Country Line Dance group and the Moapa Valley High School Jazz Band will be making an appearance. Local cowboy poets will spin their yarns and a violin duo will also perform.

The kids’ art event held in the Fine Arts building is always a hit with the youngsters. On Saturday, November 3, children can enjoy doing art crafts from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Each year vendors and other local talents donate items for the raffle. Each raffle ticket is $1 or 6 tickets for $5. The money from the raffle goes into the Moapa Valley Art Guild scholarship program.

“The Festival is a great place to come and find your one-of-a-kind, unique Christmas gifts,” said MV Art Guild member Jackie Worthen who helps coordinate the festival.

The 2018 Festival will be held on November 2-3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free to the public.
