The Mountaintop Art & Craft Show in Highlands, North Carolina, returns August 29 and 30, bringing more than 80 regional artisans to Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park.
What began in 2006 as the Village Square Art & Craft Show has grown into an enduring summer tradition on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
Its value is not simply that many of the goods are handmade. It is the range and the encounter: fine art, pottery, turned wood, textiles, jewelry and live demonstrations alongside smoked meats, olives, specialty foods and discoveries that do not fit neatly into a category.
You can watch something take shape, speak with the person behind it, taste something unexpected and leave with more than another item from an online cart.
The show does something an algorithm cannot. It puts maker, material, place and visitor in the same conversation. That is commerce, but it is also culture at a human scale.
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty is proud to continue our sponsorship of an event that gives regional talent a place to be seen and contributes so much to summers in Highlands.

Calvin Wright, founder of @cwdesignworks, takes us inside the build at 108 Shortoff Shadow Trail in Old Edwards Club at Highlands Cove, where the design draws inspiration from early American homes of the Hudson River Valley and reinterprets that character for mountain living.
Regional timber, Elberton granite, Alabama marble, spruce shiplap, a scratch-built Rumford fireplace, and carefully considered interior finishes are all part of the vision for this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home.
From the vaulted dining space and keeping room to the private primary suite and mountain-view bath, this home offers a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship and design decisions shaping a new luxury home in Highlands, NC.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Highlands and Cashiers appealing for a second home or retirement?
Highlands, Cashiers, and nearby communities offer a distinctive mountain lifestyle with cooler summers, outdoor recreation, dining, golf, and a strong sense of community. They also provide year-round amenities that make seasonal living or a permanent move feel comfortable and connected, with guidance available from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty.
Is the mountain market a good fit for a luxury second-home investment?
Mountain properties can be appealing for buyers seeking both lifestyle value and long-term ownership potential, particularly in established communities with desirable amenities and limited inventory. The right opportunity depends on location, property type, access, condition, and how you plan to use the home, and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty can help you evaluate the local market.
Which area should I consider: Highlands, Cashiers, Sapphire, or Lake Toxaway?
Each community has its own personality, from Highlands' walkable village atmosphere to Cashiers' relaxed mountain character and Lake Toxaway's lakefront lifestyle. Sapphire, Glenville, Scaly Mountain, and Franklin offer additional choices depending on whether you prioritize recreation, privacy, water access, convenience, or value, and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty can help you compare the areas.
What should second-home owners consider when they are not living at the property?
Second-home buyers should think about routine maintenance, security, landscaping, winter preparation, emergency response, and oversight while they are away. Establishing reliable local property management and service relationships can make ownership significantly easier, and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty can help you consider these practical aspects before purchasing.
Are golf and private club communities worth considering in the Highlands area?
For buyers who value golf, social connections, dining, and organized amenities, communities such as Old Edwards Club at Highlands Cove and Highlands Country Club can offer an appealing lifestyle. Membership structures, property requirements, amenities, and costs vary, so Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty can help you explore the real estate options associated with these communities.
What makes The Reserve at Lake Keowee different from the Highlands-area communities?
The Reserve at Lake Keowee offers a lake-oriented lifestyle with luxury homes, golf, outdoor recreation, and private community amenities in a distinctive South Carolina setting. Buyers comparing it with Highlands, Cashiers, or Lake Toxaway should consider whether lake living, club amenities, location, and travel patterns align with their goals, and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty can help you explore the differences.
