To be exact, 88% of the artisans come from the southeast region, while 67% are from the carolinas. Artisans come with a variety of fine art and crafts for visitors to admire and purchase, from painting and photography to pottery and woodcraft. The event has gained some respectable notoriety over the years, as over 20,000 visitors are expected to attend for the 2019 edition.
