Upcoming Events
Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festival
The Arts and Crafts Festival has been a Lake Lure tradition since the 1980’s. Held twice a year in May and October, the Festival includes artisans who all sell their own hand-made creations. The damage caused by Hurricane Helene has made it impossible to hold the festival.
We have canceled the Fall 2024 Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festival scheduled for October 19-20, 2024, and will refund the vendor fees. The recovery from the storm will take weeks, months, and perhaps years. We will evaluate the feasibility of future festivals given the then-current state of that recovery.
Special thanks to all those individuals and organizations who provide food, financial support and time to help improve the lives of those less fortunate in our community
