Craftsmen's Fair FAQs - Gatlinburg Craftsmens Fair

Two entrances to the Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair: 234 Historic Nature Trail, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and 920 Parkway, Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Dates are from July 10-19, 2026, and October 8-28, 2026. Open from 10 am to 5 pm daily (Summer fairs open on Friday; Fall fairs open on Thursday).

The summer event includes two 5-day periods; the fall event includes three 7-day periods. Some 20-30 artisans change out at those times.

Live musical performances on the stage by the concessions area are at 12 pm and 3 pm daily. We feature an acoustic bluegrass band, Misty River, bluegrass band The ‘Po Ramblin’ Boys, bluegrass band Mountain Highway, and in the fall, the Dennis Lee Band, which features country, patriotic, gospel, and bluegrass music. Performances are free with admission to the fair.

Summer admission for adults is $10 at the gate (no online ticket sales at this time). Children 17 and under enter for free. Multi-day passes are available at the Office on aisle 500 for free with a photo ID. This allows patrons to return for the rest of the fair.

Push wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis at no cost. Electric scooter and chair rentals are also available about a block away from the convention center.

Pets are welcome, but they must be restrained by the owner on a leash or in a carrier, and the convention center has a no-paws-on-the-floor policy. Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair, LLC, reserves the right to ask patrons with pets to exit for any reason deemed necessary by the promoters. Pet owners are solely responsible for their pets’ behavior.

Concessions are available in the Great Hall and offered by Holsten’s Catering, Sevierville. If you are leaving the building, you may have your hand stamped at the ticket-taker station to return the same day.

Group rates are available for groups of 15 or more. Please call for more details: 865-436-7475.
