Looking to escape the summer heat? At an elevation of 4,118 feet, Highlands is the place to be.
Looking for mountain-made crafts and art? The Village Square Art & Craft Show is the place to go.
Whether you live in Highlands or are just visiting, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to shop for high quality art and crafts the weekend of August 20 and 21.
Sponsored by the Macon County Art Association, the shows bring together many fine artists with originals and reproductions, as well as an assortment of crafts from around the mountains. Watch jewelers or broom-makers demonstrate their craft while you enjoy live music and pig out on freshly made kettle corn and lemonade. There are also several eating establishments in the center.
Products include rustic furniture and cutting boards; fused glass; canvas hats & bags; weaving; whiskey barrels; knives; blacksmithing, baskets, pottery, jewelry, and much more.
Please note that the show has a new location — the lower lot at Highlands (Bryson’s) Plaza on the Dillard Rd, Highway 106, just two blocks from Main Street. Look for parking on Spring Street and at the site — just follow the signs to the designated lot beside the show (please don’t park in the shopping center).
This free event runs from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. both days. For more information, call coordinator Cynthia Strain at (828) 787-2021 or follow the Highlands Village Square Art & Craft Show Facebook page.
