Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festival

Hickory Nut Gorge Outreach Presents the Lake Lure Arts and Crafts Festival held in beautiful downtown Lake Lure, NC across from the beach. Our Arts and Crafts Festivals have been a Lake Lure North Carolina tradition since the 1980’s. Held twice a year in May (Spring) and October (Autumn) our festivals accept only artisans who sell their own hand-made creations at the festivals.

These festivals celebrate the rich tradition of hand-made, Appalachian arts and crafts and feature over 100 artists and crafters who personally exhibit and sell their hand-made works to the public at this event. Quite a few artisans demonstrate their artistic talents and crafting skills by creating new works at the event.
