Each year, thousands flock to our charming Southern city to experience the changing season from an entirely unique point of view. Here, tree-lined streets awash with color create an easy path from historic home to treasured landmark to heirloom garden. Traditional Moravian "pleasure" gardens blush with deep crimson, russet and magenta as nearby apple trees droop heavy with fruit. Even the vineyards join in the showy parade, inviting visitors to tour the fields before the harvest.Almost on cue, the internationally renowned artists of the Piedmont Craftsmen’s Fair present their best works of the season with as much ingenuity and inspiration as nature itself. Stroll row after row of artist booths featuring sculpture, fiber art, painting, jewelry, furniture and fine art craft. Select some of your favorites to take home, or meet with an artist to discuss the work, discover a shared passion or commission your own design.
In the end, you’ll leave our city with more than an appreciation for the beauty all around you. You’ll experience the everyday awe we’ve come to recognize as a Southern Wake-Up Call.
