What to Know about the Annual Gatlinburg Event
Twice a year, the Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair brings together artisans and craftsmen from all over the country. The first is in mid-July, and the second is in October. Both last several days, giving you ample time to explore the booths filled with unique finds, like braided rugs, wooden toys, and sculptures.
The annual event takes place in the Gatlinburg Convention Center. All of the chosen vendors have undergone a rigorous jury process, which helps ensure the quality and uniqueness of their wares. With over 200 booths to shop, there’s no shortage of things to find! The October market is a great place to find memorable gifts you won’t find anywhere else, including holiday wreaths, ceramic trees, and ornaments. Take a break from exploring the booths by stopping to listen to live music, which takes place daily at noon and 3 p.m.
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., you can purchase tickets at either convention center entrance. If you plan on visiting more than once, upgrade your ticket to a multi-day pass for free by presenting a photo ID at the office.
