Saluda Arts Festival - 20th Anniversary

Saturday, May 17 from 10 AM – 4 PM, downtown Saluda, North Carolina (that’s NC!) comes alive with color, creativity, and community spirit.

The Saluda Arts Festival features over 90 artists from across the Carolinas — painters, potters, jewelers, woodworkers, photographers, and more — all gathered along one charming, walkable stretch of town.

Bring the whole family. Little ones will love the Children’s Tent, with face painting, balloon art, and street performers sure to spark smiles.

- Live music fills the air at the Ella Grace Stage in the park
- Tasty eats from Saluda’s beloved restaurants and cafés
- Free parking with shuttle service running all day

Just hop off I-26 at Exit 59 — we’re less than an hour from Greenville or Spartanburg.

If you’ve never been to Saluda, you might be surprised that towns like this still exist. Come stroll our streets, meet local makers, and spend a spring day in the heart of the mountains.
