After 41 years of arts and crafts, Stone Mountain Park’s Yellow Daisy Festival is still among the top in its game. The festival has grown to become one of the most prestigious venues for crafters and has been consistently voted one of the top arts and crafts shows by Sunshine Artist Magazine’s Annual “200 Best” survey. This year’s show will be held September 10, 11, 12 and 13 at Stone Mountain Park.
The Yellow Daisy Festival includes over 500 crafters and artists from all over the United States. These top artisans display their hand-made work, in categories such as Pottery, Fabric, Painting, Jewelry, Sculpture, Dolls, Photography, Fine Arts & Crafts and Traditional Arts & Crafts.
The annual event draws an estimated 200,000 shopping enthusiasts out to the four day event. In addition to the unique arts and crafts, the festival offers free entertainment and an assortment of festival foods to meet a variety of tastes. The Children’s Corner provides a stage featuring the Backyard Circus Show, where the kids are the stars of the circus. The Children’s Corner also includes a 40’ inflatable obstacle course, 40’ coloring mural, face painting and Fair Hair (a fun and funky hairdo vendor).
