MAGGIE VALLEY, N.C. — The Maggie Valley Summer Arts and Crafts Show returns July 6-7, 2019, to the Maggie Valley Festival Grounds.  In its 28^th year the popularity continues to grow.

“We have been receiving phone calls from visitors who actually plan their vacation around this event and want to double check the dates and make reservations” says Teresa Smith, Maggie Chamber Executive Director.

Seasonal items, yard art, paintings, photography, pottery, wooden bowls, furniture, jewelry, goat milk soaps and more will be featured at the event.  “There really is something for everyone, from the most affordable handicrafts, to the more expensive museum quality items,” says Smith.  “Even if you don’t plan on buying anything, its fun just to walk around and see the amazing variety of unique items – but rarely do you see anyone leaving without something in their hands.”

In addition to a wide selection of unique arts and crafts, there will be a variety of mouth-watering festival foods.   

“Because of the holiday, we expect a record crowd to be in attendance this weekend.” says Smith.  “The mountains are a great way to escape the heat and humidity of other areas, and with a spectacular 360 view of the mountains, the festival grounds provide a beautiful setting for this outdoor event,” says Smith. 

The event runs 9:00 am – 4:00  pm both days.  There is no admission; donations appreciated. Proceeds will benefit the Friends of the Haywood County Animal Shelter. Parking is free.  For more information contact the Maggie Valley Chamber at 828-926-1686 or visit www.maggievalley.org.
