Four venues. 145 artists. And a setting that is straight out of a landscape painting. This is what you’ll find when you come to the Winterfest Arts & Coach Tour in the Helen, Georgia, area, February 16-17, 2019.
This mountain region has long been known as a haven for artists, and their talents will be on full display for this fest, which is a compilation of four shows at four different venues—Unicoi State Park & Lodge, Helen Arts & Heritage Center, Hardman Farms Historic Site and Sautee Nacoochee Center (SNC). Visitors can park at either Unicoi State Park or the SNC and enjoy a Hop On/Off Coach Service to each of the locations.
The 44th Annual Fireside Arts and Crafts Show at Unicoi State Park & Lodge will feature more than 70 artists and crafters. An indoor Arts and Crafts Marketplace will take place at at the Helen Arts & Heritage Center. Look for live demonstrations and more original works representing the North Georgia Appalachian Foothills at the Hardman Farm Historic Site and 
the SNC, a haven for visual and performing arts.
There is no charge for the festival at each venue, but there is a $10 multi-part ticket and wristband charge to ride the Hop On-Off Coach. Raffle tickets will be sold at each venue for regional artists’ prizes.
