02/07/2026 to 02/08/2026
The Little Crafty: Trolls Edition will be hosted at the NC Arboretum on Saturday, February 7, and Sunday, February 8, 2026, from 1-6 PM. The younger sibling of The Big Crafty, this new, intimate craft market celebrates regional artists, nature-inspired making, and the creative spirit of Western North Carolina.
Hosted in the North Carolina Arboretum’s Auditorium, attendees can expect a carefully curated group of artists whose work draws inspiration from the natural world. The weekend’s artists will echo the imaginative, nature-forward ethos of the Arboretum’s current exhibition TROLLS: A Field Study.
Come enjoy the botanicals, landscapes, wildlife, and handmade traditions of the Blue Ridge, all framed by the Arboretum’s living collections and winter landscapes. The event also perfectly coincides with Valentine’s Day gift-giving! The Little Crafty is free to attend, but there is a parking fee for the NC Arboretum. As part of the celebration, Sunday, February 8, will be a free Community Day, with the Arboretum’s parking fee waived.
