Blue Ridge Heritage Weekend

A two-day arts and crafts fair on the Shelton campus, three blocks from downtown Waynesville: juried artists and craftspeople, demonstrations, food, and Appalachian music on the front porch of the Shelton House, home of the Museum of North Carolina Handicrafts since 1980. Saturday morning coincides with the Historic Haywood Farmers Market on the same grounds. 2026 (August 8–9) was its eighth year.
