The Big Crafty revives the tradition of the community bazaar, a lively celebration of handmade commerce, featuring local food, music, and fine wares from a juried group of select indie artists and crafters.

From the organizers:

Our guiding principle is that buying handmade is good for the community, and our aim is to make doing so fun.
Our fun-for-all-ages events are held twice annually in the heart of beautiful Asheville, NC. We extend warm welcome to Asheville’s rich pageant of basement and backyard artists, its juried prize-winners, and those who delight in them.
