NC Rhododendron Craft Fair 

Our Craft Fair is held along the Creek Walk on Friday from  12 pm - 7pm AND Saturday  from 10am - 5pm. Free admission!
The NC Rhododendron Festival draws thousands of visitors from all over the region and features the Rhododendron Festival Pageant, the Craft Fair with food vendors, children's activities, and live music throughout the day, as well as a classic car show, a 10K run, 2 nights of street dancing.  

​Our yearly show offers exhibitors of talented local and regional artists & craftspeople and showcases a variety of musical performances. The Rhododendron Craft Fair, which is open to the public and free of charge, takes place along the banks of Cane Creek, which winds through the center of the beautiful and historic small mountain town of Bakersville. It has become a local favorite with artists and visitors alike; many returning year after year.


Bakersville is just over an hour away from either Asheville, Boone or Johnson City [TN]. Penland School of Crafts, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Spruce Pine and Burnsville are all within 20-30 minutes of Bakersville and provide plenty of activities to see or do during the weekend.

Come experience our local music, food, atmosphere and more! If you haven't been to Bakersville lately, you have missed the best kept secret in western North Carolina.
