About Sunkissed Fiber Festival
The first annual Sunkissed Fiber Festival is the brainchild of Laura Regan, owner/indie dyer of Created 4 U By Laura. Laura and her husband Kevin enjoy the spring and fall festival season up North, but as snowbirds thought January would be a perfect month to try a fiber festival in Florida!
​
After looking at a couple of locations they settled on hosting the first annual Sunkissed Fiber Festival at the Hillsborough County Fair Grounds just outside Tampa. The Fairgrounds offers a great indoor facility which we will be utilizing for our inaugural event.
​
Laura loves finding ways to bring the fiber community together and is hopeful that this event will offer a great experience for fiber businesses and fiber loving attendees.
​
As we mentioned the festival is taking place at the Hillsborough Country Fairgrounds in Dover, Florida (about 25 minutes from Tampa) on January 24-25, 2026. Saturday, January 24 the hours are 10am-4pm and on Sunday the hours are 10am-3pm.
​
There is an admission fee of $5 per day or $7 for the weekend. At this time we will only be selling tickets onsite and it will be CASH ONLY at the door.
​
We are working on securing food trucks - stay tuned as we get more information on this.
