The Fall 2024 Lake Lure Arts & Craft Festival is coming

 The Fall 2024 Festival will be held on Saturday, October 19, and Sunday, October 20. The vendor list and site map (on the Vendors page) hold information about the vendors that we have accepted.

We are no longer taking applications online or through the mail. We are full. Thank all of you for your interest. Our site is physically limited to 100 sites. We would love to expand but the site will not accommodate any more vendors in an atmosphere that provides a quality experience for our attendees or our vendors. 

On a sad note, the scammers are out in force. If you see a Facebook post that says, in effect, that they are the only way to get a vendor spot and to contact them through Facebook, it is almost certainly a scam. Even the organizers of the Festival cannot sell you a booth; we are full. We announce things on Facebook (at https://www.facebook.com/people/Lake-Lure-Arts-and-Crafts-Festivals/100057332063536/). We answer questions on Facebook. Nothing else. We love our vendors and do not want them to get scammed. Please be careful out there. 

The Festival raises funds to support Hickory Nut Gorge Outreach. The Outreach is a food pantry (and more). It is dedicated to eliminating hunger in our community and helping the needy. Please take a look at our website for more information.

While the proceeds from the Festival go to support Hickory Nut Gorge Outreach, the Festival is run by the Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festival Coordinating Committee. The folks who answer the phone and respond to email inquiries at Hickory Nut Gorge Outreach do not have any information about the Festival. Please do not waste their or your time by asking questions there. Please do ask your questions via the email address LakeLureArtsAndCraftsFestivals@gmail.com.
