Mark your calendar for one of the most creative weekends of the year: The Big Crafty art festival returns to Asheville Saturday, July 12-Sunday, July 13.

Shop jewelry, ceremics, prints, woodwork + more by artists from across the Southeast and beyond, and celebrate the vibrant WNC arts community. Tickets are $10 at the door on Saturday, but Sunday’s Community Day is free for everyone.

Plus, to make the trip even more worthwhile, the festival takes place in walkable downtown Asheville — just steps from award-winning restaurants and local shopping.
