Saluda Arts Festival

Mark your calendars for May 17, 2025, and get ready to experience the 20th Annual Saluda Arts FestivalÑa milestone celebration set against the breathtaking backdrop of springtime in the Blue Ridge Mountains! As the crisp mountain air fills with the scent of blooming wildflowers and fresh greenery, historic Main Street will come alive with the colors, sounds, and energy of this beloved event. From Nostalgia Courtyard to the Bridge, talented artists from across Western NC and the Upstate of SC will transform our charming downtown into a spectacular outdoor gallery from 10 AM to 4 PM. For two decades, the Saluda Arts Festival has been a vibrant showcase of creativity, drawing thousands of visitors to reconnect with their favorite artists and discover new talent. Many returning artists have been part of this tradition for years, making it the perfect opportunity to celebrate their work while embracing the magic of SaludaÕs artistic spirit.
