Pack Place & Pack Square

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Big Crafty revives the tradition of the community bazaar, a lively celebration of handmade commerce, featuring local food, music, and fine wares from a juried group of select indie artists and crafters.
 
 
 
Our guiding principle is that buying handmade is good for the community, and our aim is to make doing so fun.
 
Our free and fun for all ages events are held twice annually in the heart of beautiful Asheville, NC.
 
We extend warm welcome to Asheville’s rich pageant of basement and backyard artists, its juried prize-winners, and those who delight in them.
 
We’re grateful for the hearty support of the community, and in particular the Asheville Art Museum for their ongoing support of The Big Crafty and for their 60+ years of promoting a creative and culturally-vibrant Asheville.
