Continuing a tradition begun in 1984, Dillsboro will present its 19th Annual Dillsboro Heritage Festival on Saturday, June 14, and is issuing an invitation to local crafters and artisans to apply for booth space for this event. The Heritage Festival is a juried show and all wares will be produced by the artistans. There are two fee schedules for booth space for that day with special consideration being offered to those artisans willing to work throughout the day demonstrating the crafts they are selling. A limited number of food vendors are also being sought.

Dillsboro is located less than an hour west of Asheville at the crossroads of U.S. 23/74 and U.S. 441 in Jackson County and boasts a wide selection of over 50 shops, restaurants and inns. With the wide array of art and crafts, food, and entertainment, the Dillsboro Heritage Festival attracts thousands of visitors. Contact Dillsboro Merchants Association at 586.3198 for an application. All applications must be received by May 20.
