Asheville? More like Craftsville.
The Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands returns to Downtown Asheville for its 73rd consecutive year this Thursday, July 18- Sunday, July 21, transforming Harrah’s Cherokee Center into a four-day celebration of regional artisans.
Here’s what Ashevillians can look forward to:
🖌️ Shop handmade works
100+ artists will showcase a range of contemporary + traditional crafts, including purchasable works of clay, wood, glass, jewelry + more. This event is put on by the artists themselves, meaning visitors can connect with the makers directly to ask questions and learn about their creative process.
🎵 Live tunes + demonstrations
Wood carving + wheat weaving are among the live demonstrations headlining this year’s fair. These showcases offer a glimpse behind the curtain to see the time and care poured into each new piece.
Plus, enjoy local live music all day Saturday and Sunday.
💍 Jewelry sawing challenge
This year’s Fair also includes a live Sawing Challenge, where participating artists will compete to create custom designs.
