Event details

Lake Lure’s shoreline is a perfect spring backdrop for browsing handmade work. The Lake Lure Spring Arts and Crafts Festival brings artists, makers, food vendors, and music to town, turning a weekend on the water into an easy, walkable outing.

Between booths, grab lake views, plan a paddle, or tack on a short drive through Hickory Nut Gorge. It is a relaxed, family-friendly way to enjoy the Blue Ridge in May.
