About Bakersville Creek Walk Arts Festival
The Creek Walk Arts Festival started in 2005 to celebrate and utilize Bakersville's new, half-mile, paved footpath. With generous support from organizations such as the Mitchell County Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Bakersville and the Bakersville Improvement Group, the Creek Walk Arts Festival has become a local favorite with artists and visitors alike; many returning year after year. Proceeds from past festivals have addressed local needs such as stocking food banks, providing heating subsidies for the elderly and town beautification projects.
In addition, the Arts Festival bestows over $3000 in cash prizes. Artists compete for the following awards: Best of Show, First Place, Second Place, Third Place, Three Honorable Mentions, Best Booth, People's Choice, Middleton Emerging Artist Award and Crimson Laurel Gallery's Award for Excellence in Ceramics.
Start with the downtown businesses, add the support from town and county, mix in the large number of volunteers and top it off with loyal artisans and one can see that the Bakersville Creek Walk Arts Festival is truly a community event to be experienced and appreciated.
If you haven't been to Bakersville lately, you have missed the best kept secret in western North Carolina. Come discover our mountain paradise.
