Great festival. 250 vendors/artists. Music was good. Demonstrations were educational and entertaining: blacksmithing, woodworking, spinning, carving and more.
Especially loved the artists, photographers, cloggers, JAM (Junior Appalachian Musicians), vegetarian food, pottery, yarn/textile artists,and Elderberry vendor.
Will return next year!!
I had the absolute best week here! I love the diversity of class offerings they have in terms of range of subject matters. I took a week long jewelry making class and left inspired, challenged, and excited. I was an absolute rookie and left with legit pieces I am proud to wear. I stayed off campus because I brought along my dog so I can’t speak to the accommodations of meals. However, the instruction I received was EXCELLENT and I will undoubtedly be returning!
Love this place and everything about it - I'd event updates via text. The Christmas Craft Sale is the best one I've ever been to.
John C. Campbell Fall Festival is an annual celebration which falls on the weekend of October 6th-8th of every year. Rich in local folk heritage and a mecca for regional crafters, makers, welders, dancers, storytelling, quilting, etc. Appalachian folk school which offers classes, as well as, opportunities for those artists seeking to refine their abilities.
