WinterFest Arts Tour

WinterFest Arts Tour is a weekend of festivals that presents 175 artists at 4 locations over 2 days. The Hardman Farm Historic Site, Helen Arts & Heritage Center, the Sautee Nacoochee Center and Unicoi State Park & Lodge present the 2025 WinterFest Arts Tour.

The dates and times at all four locations are Saturday, February 15 from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, February 16 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. (President’s Day Weekend), so there is no rush to see everything in one day.

At each location, local and regional artists will display, sell and demonstrate their skills and bring to life new and exciting pieces. Visitors may purchase raffle tickets to win artwork contributed by participating artists. Food service or vendors are present at some sites.

There is no charge for WinterFest at each venue, but a multipart ticket may be purchased to enter to win one of three Grand Prizes valued at $250 each and above. One ticket is $10 or a book of five tickets for $40. To be eligible to win, the ticket must be stamped at three locations. Tickets may be purchased online or during the event.

The 30-plus artists at the Sautee Nacoochee Art Festival come from Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama. They are juried, ensuring the best original local and regional artwork. Over 250 artists are represented in the Center’s gallery shops.

A number of other opportunities to explore are also available at the Sautee Nacoochee Center. The Folk Pottery Museum of Northeast Georgia will be open and welcoming visitors for free. The Heritage Site cabin and blacksmith shop will be open and staffed.

Selected as one of their Top Twenty Events by the Southeastern Tourism Association in 2018, WinterFest Arts Tour continues to be an event that draws visitors from near and far.

Free parking is available at the Sautee Nacoochee Center.
