An annual tradition for more than 25 years, the Oak Island Art Guild Arts & Craft Festival is a fantastic way for visitors to discover all the talented artists and craftsmen who call this coastal corner of North Carolina home. Held in the heart of town, the festival attracts more than 100 artists and vendors who bring along distinctive wares that are both eye catching and truly one-of-a-kind.

The Oak Island Art Guild Arts & Craft Festival is held on the grounds of Middleton Park in Oak Island, which makes it nicely easy to reach for visitors throughout the town of Oak Island and neighboring Southport. Though the vendors may vary slightly from year to year, expect to be wowed by the incredible display of more than 100 stalls selling goodies of all varieties. Popular items for sale often include fine art, paintings, pottery, stained glass, holiday ornaments, woodcarvings, baskets and needlecraft, photography, books, posters, jewelry, toys, lawn and garden items, and so much more. With refreshments on site as well, and a little something for everyone at the sprawling event, the Oak Island Art Guild Arts & Craft Festival is a great place to discover the talents of Oak Island and beyond.
