Georgia Mountain Needle Arts Festival

The Georgia Mountain Needle Arts Festival is a three-day event in Ellijay, in the North Georgia mountains. More than 50 vendors fill the space with yarn, fabric, patterns, tools, and handmade goods, drawing fiber artisans from across the region. The three-day window lets you browse at your own pace and come back if something catches your eye on day one. Ellijay's mountain setting gives the weekend a small-town, unhurried feel that suits the browsing.
