200+ Booths of Handmade Products
Voted One of the Southeast’s “Most Popular Events”
Filling the 150,000 square feet of downtown’s Gatlinburg Convention Center, the Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair hosts Artisans and Craftsmen from all over the nation. Two hundred booths with unique and one-of-a-kind handmade products, are beautifully displayed, as these skilled craftspeople demonstrate their talents. Each participant is subject to a rigorous jury process to ensure the uniqueness and quality of their respective products. All items represented are handmade and of utmost quality-and without duplication. Look for exceptional pottery pieces, molded leather, copper art, local candy makers, and many more unique items.
There is something for everyone at the Fair. The Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair and Smoky Mountain Resort Ministries provide a free Kid’s Corner during our July fair, with a selection of DIY crafts for our youngest visitors to take home with them. Also be sure to stop by one or all of our daily music shows included with the price of admission. Check out the stage and enjoy contemporary country, bluegrass, and your favorite gospel tunes at 12 and 3 daily. Additional performances to be announced for days with extended hours.
Concessions are available for sale through the Gatlinburg Convention Center.
The Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair usually takes most of the day to see. If you didn’t quite get through it all, multi-day passes are available at the Craftsmen’s Fair office located at the end of aisle 500.

The Craftsmen’s Fair is always great! There are a lot of unique items and very talented Craftsmen. We try to come both times that it is in Gatlinburg and I know we will continue to make it a tradition.
LOVED this craft fair. They are the best of the best with their crafts. Beautiful original items.
I have done the majority of my Christmas shopping at the Gatlinburg Craft Fair over the years. Always easier to find something unique for those hard to shop for people on my list.
EXCELLENT craft show…my husband will drive us from Michigan to go!
Been going for about 24 years. Take my mom who is 79 yrs old every year. She loves it.
