Unicoi, Tennessee

In honor of one of the most generous community members and founder of Scott's Farms, Wayne Scott, the festival is a celebration of community spirit and neighborly support. Handmade crafters, churches and non-profit organizations are the focus of the festival, but it has recently been opened to retail vendors at a higher rate. This means there's plenty of shopping!

Held at Unicoi Elementary School, downtown is filled with thousands of visitors and becomes a magical place where scrumptious food, musical entertainment, special events, and quality arts and crafts blend together to create the perfect atmosphere for family fun and community connection!

And did we mention the strawberries? Scott's Strawberry and Tomato Farms has a reputation for growing the most delicious strawberries in the region and since their booth is usually sold out before 2 p.m., it's obvious they're doing something right!
