Fall Craft Fairs and Festivals

Scenic drives to discover mountain crafts trails

Fall craft fairs and festivalsThe festivals don’t stop with the start of the school year in Asheville, where arts and crafts fairs keep drawing hundreds of people during the fall to celebrate the arts in all its forms.

  • The Southern Highland Craft Guild sponsors the twice-a-year Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands on Oct. 18-21, 2007. The fair is the preeminent event to showcase artistic talent from across the Appalachian Mountains, so expect everything from pottery and jewelry to furniture and fiber arts.
  • The guild also sponsors a Heritage Weekend, Sept. 15-16, to celebrate the crafting tradition of the Appalachian Mountains. Don’t miss Saturday’s 26th Annual World Gee Haw Whimmy Diddle Competition, held from 2 to 3 p.m.
  • The Lake Eden Arts Festival on Oct. 19-21 is a popular stop for its Folk Art Extravaganza and impressive music lineup ranging from old time and bluegrass to funk and swing.
  • And for a festival with (more than) a touch of mischievousness, don’t miss The Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival sponsored by Arts 2 People on Sept. 9. Why? The group says it best.” If there is any day to wake up and throw on your feather boa and checkered shoes and head on into town, this would be the day!”
