The sixth annual Blue Ridge Heritage Weekend Arts & Crafts Festival will return Aug. 10-11 to the Shelton House in Waynesville. 

A fundraising event for the preservation of the historic 147-year-old farmstead, also known as “The Museum of NC Handicrafts,” there will be artisans and demonstrations onsite, as well as food trucks/vendors and live Appalachian music on the front porch.

The Shelton House has a 44-year history as “The Museum of North Carolina Handicrafts,” featuring talented artists and artisans from across North Carolina. It is also listed as a stop on the “Blue Ridge Craft Trail” and on the “Appalachian Mural Trail.”

Free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated. All donations go to the preservation of the historic site. Sponsors for the event are also welcome. Bring your lawn chairs.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 11. For more information, go to sheltonhouse.org  or call 828.452.1551.
