Arts & Crafts
The Big Shanty Festival proudly features one of the largest and most diverse arts & crafts showcases in Georgia. Each year, 250+ talented artisans and makers line the streets of Downtown Kennesaw, transforming the festival into a vibrant open-air gallery filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and community.
From handcrafted jewelry and fine art to woodwork, ceramics, photography, home décor, and unique gifts, the Arts & Crafts Market offers something for every style and interest. All vendors are carefully selected to ensure a high-quality, engaging experience for both artists and festival guests.
