This year’s show will feature heritage mountain crafts, folk art and fine contemporary art from more than 90 regional artists. The show has long had a reputation for the highest quality artisans in the region, said Laura Huff, one of the event organizers.

Fine artists will offer a wide array of prints in media such as watercolors, oils and acrylic. Wood crafts will include butcher blocks, cutting boards, turned pens and fan pulls, and custom furniture. The show will feature a selection of functional and raku-fired pottery pieces, as well as one-of-a-kind gourd vessels. Heritage crafts will include Shaker brooms, bark buckets and pinecone birds. Heirloom quilting, sewing and weaving also can be purchased.

In addition to displays, the show will include demonstrations of treenware carving (utensils carved from a single piece of wood) and performances of folk songs on psalteries (hand-crafted bowed instruments).

Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults ages 12 and older, and parking is free.
