Since the 1940s, The Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands has brought makers + our community together for a celebration of regional artists. When the fair returns this month, it’ll mean a little more.
Not only will the 2025 Craft Fair benefit WNC’s recovery from Hurricane Helene, but it also provides valuable exposure to local artists, and a welcoming space to gather with the arts community.
The four-day event takes place at Harrah’s Cherokee Center downtown Thursday, July 17- Sunday, July 20. Drop in any day for:
- 100+ juried artists from around the Southeast
- A wide range of fine craft, from clay and wood pieces to glass and jewelry
- Live demonstrations and hands-on crafting
- The opportunity to shop handmade + meet the makers
- A celebration of Appalachian tradition, creativity, and community
Admission is $12 for adults, and free for children under 12 (no advance purchase needed).
