In addition to the artist tents, stroll the streets of Dillsboro to find hundreds of artists' works at nearby galleries. Dogwood Crafters (90 Webster Street) cooperative is a must-stop with arts and crafts from 100+ mountain artists. Relax with local brews at Innovation Station Brewery. Nearby is the Jackson County Green Energy Park, with more artists at work.

Since parking in town will be limited, we suggest parking at Monteith Farmstead Park (100 West Hometown Place, Dillsboro) and taking the shuttle for $2/person.
