Hand-Crafted Keepsakes

Written by: Donna Rhodes

Issue: 2023, June 2023

The artists of Sapphire Valley Arts and Crafts Festival are tripling your art enjoyment again this season – June 24-25, August 5-6, and September 30-October 1, from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

June and August Festivals are at the Sapphire Valley Athletic Field, three miles east of Cashiers on Highway 64. The September-October Festival is held in the Community Center to avoid the potential for bad weather. Free admission. Free parking.

Fill your senses with marvelous aromas from food vendors while you enjoy live music that will curl the corners of your mouth into a big ol’ grin. Then stroll down rows of fine jewelry, handmade crafts, quality folk art, mountain delights, and much more.

Authentic Appalachian art and crafts are sought-after across the country. We are lucky enough to live in the midst of the amazing artists who produce their magnificent work. We don’t have to travel hundreds of miles to be dazzled with quality craft. On these three weekends local artisans will gather at the Sapphire shows, practically a stone’s throw away.

Fall in love with one of their creations. Make it yours. Let your friends and family ooh and ahh, then relish your hand- crafted keepsake forever.
 Take advantage of these three perfect weekends for three memory-making outings. Take yourself. Take a friend. Take your whole family. And be sure to take home a treasure.
