A weekend with different directions

This October 11, 2026 shortlist connects three reviewed Bay Area public editions in November: Harvest Festival in San Jose, Renegade Craft in San Francisco and KublaCon Fall in Burlingame. Their dates overlap, so treat the roundup as a choice of experiences rather than a route to cover everything. It is not a complete regional calendar or a ranking. Choose whether you want to browse makers, look for a particular kind of work or spend time playing games, then compare each edition’s current program and admission conditions.

November 13–15: Harvest Festival San Jose

Harvest Festival San Jose’s reviewed edition runs November 13–15 at Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. Use the organizer’s current information to plan your day and check visitor admission. If you are shopping, bring an idea of what you would like to find but leave room for unfamiliar work. Ask makers about an item’s materials, size, care and collection or delivery arrangements before purchasing. Give yourself a way to carry anything you buy without turning the rest of the visit into an uncomfortable trip with too many bags.

November 14–15: Renegade Craft San Francisco

Renegade Craft’s San Francisco Winter edition is listed for November 14–15 at Fort Mason Center’s Festival Pavilion. The reviewed admission description records a suggested contribution rather than assuming a mandatory fee. Check the organizer’s current entry information before departure. You can approach the fair as a chance to learn how people make their work, as well as a shopping visit. Ask before handling or photographing items and keep the maker’s name with any note you want to revisit. Browsing attentively can be worthwhile without buying immediately.

November 13–16: KublaCon Fall

KublaCon Fall’s reviewed edition spans November 13–16 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in Burlingame. Read the current organizer registration and program for the part you want to attend. A multi-day convention can support a different pace from a short shopping visit, especially if you reserve game sessions. Leave room for rules explanations, the activity itself and a break before the next booking. Check any separate reservation requirement rather than treating public attendee admission as a promise of a place in every game or activity.

Choose around the overlap

All three run across some of the same weekend. Start with one priority and consider another visit only after checking current hours, booked activities and the actual journey between locations. Do not assume the event with the longer date range has the same program every day. If your group has different interests, discuss separate plans and a clear way to meet afterward. A comfortable visit needs time for arrival, a meal or rest and the return trip, not just enough time to pass through an entrance.

Keep the official edition close

The connected listings below retain the full public dates, exact venues and source links. Revisit each organizer for current availability, access arrangements and bag or entry rules shortly before traveling. Keep booking details available offline and review any payment or pickup conditions for purchases. This is a dated planning shortlist, not firsthand coverage from these shows. Use it to choose the experience that suits your November plans, then let the official program and your own interests shape a day with enough space for discovery.
