Christmas Arts & Crafts Show
Holiday Crafts at the Gatlinburg Convention Center
Immediately following the Thanksgiving Arts & Crafts Show, the Christmas Arts & Crafts Show fills the same Gatlinburg Convention Center with Christmas-themed pottery, ornaments, holiday decor, handmade jewelry, and gift items from regional artisans. Perfect for completing your holiday shopping in one indoor stop, paired with a walk through Gatlinburg’s Winter Magic lights.
A short drive from Smith Creek Resort and the ideal companion outing to Gatlinburg Winter Magic.
Who It’s For: Holiday shoppers, last-minute gift hunters, ornament collectors, and craft enthusiasts.
What to Expect: 180+ artisan booths with Christmas-themed crafts, ornaments, holiday décor, handmade gifts, food concessions, and live music.
Do’s: Combine with a Gatlinburg Winter Magic walk afterward, bring cash and cards, and look for unique ornaments.
Don’ts: Don’t expect summer-festival heat — the convention center is heated but cool layers help.
