Join the 61st Kings Mountain Art Fair, in-person or online, Labor Day weekend 2024.

The fair offers fine arts and crafts by over 125 independent artists, selected through a jury process.

Kids’ activities, food and drinks, and more.

Proceeds support the Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade and Elementary School.

The fair is run 100% by local volunteers.

Started in 1963, the Kings Mountain Art Fair is an annual event, held every Labor Day weekend.

Known for its stunning location among the redwoods and for its unique and varied artists (selected by jury), the Kings Mountain Art Fair celebrates over 50 years of art and ambiance.

All proceeds from the Fair are used to support the Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade (purchase vehicles, supplies and equipment), the Community Center building (repairs, utilities, and insurance), special programs for area youngsters and students at our public school, the publication of the community’s newsletter, and to cover the Fair’s expenses. KMAF is self-supporting. No public tax dollars or grants are involved. There are no “corporate” sponsors. All Art Fair workers volunteer their time.

Come hang out in a gorgeous redwood forest and enjoy great food and fresh air – all meals enthusiastically prepared and served by our all-volunteer staff that includes members of our volunteer fire rescue team.

Breakfast is available from 8 am to 10:30 am at the Cookshack. Enjoy eggs, sausage, pancakes, juice, milk, and Peet’s coffee under the redwood canopy.

Lunch runs from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm at the Cookshack. Tasty hamburgers, cheeseburgers, house-made cole slaw and chili, corn-on-the-cob, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, nachos and more are served.

A variety of drinks, including juices, iced teas, sodas, milk, water, beers and wines, can be purchased from the Cookshack and the Upper and Lower Beverage Booths.

Preview our tasty menu. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, we have included information to help guide your choices.

Don’t miss the world’s largest cookies – peanut butter and chocolate chip – at the Cookie Booth just around the corner from the Cookshack. All proceeds from cookie sales benefit the Kings Mountain Elementary School.
