2026 is the 19th annual Art in Autumn Outdoor Arts and Crafts Festival. This much-loved event is held on Main Street in downtown Weaverville, North Carolina — in Buncombe County, just 7 miles from downtown Asheville.
The event features over 100 juried artists and craftspeople, plus live music performed by beloved local artists. Each year, a guest judge from the local art scene awards $1,000 for Best of Show, $500 for second place, $250 for third, and four $50 honorable mentions.
We are committed to strengthening our community by actively supporting local nonprofits that tirelessly address the needs of our town's most vulnerable residents. Our office is an official drop-off location for pantry goods and other donated items.
