The Big Crafty

The Big Crafty is a hand-to-heart celebration of creative exuberance at the heart of Asheville. This biannual tradition invites artists and crafters to set up booths and offer handmade goods for sale, and the celebration also features local food, beer, and music. The summer installment typically takes place on a weekend in early July. 

The holiday installment will take place on Saturday, December 5, and Sunday, December 6, 2026, at Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville. Admission is $10 on Saturday and free on Sunday.
