"The Kings Mountain Art Fair is unique in its commitment to supporting both its local community and the environment, with a goal of becoming a "zero waste" event. The Kings Mountain Art Fair stands out for its beautiful natural setting and for being 100% volunteer run - 400 community volunteers participate every year to plan and host the fair. Launched in 1963 as a fundraiser to build a firehouse in the secluded Kings Mountain community,"
"With 20 new artists this year and a total of 130 artists, this juried fair has earned a reputation as one of the premier art events on the West Coast. "It's a privilege to watch artists, fairgoers, and volunteers come together to create such a vibrant community in the redwoods," said Bev Abbott, Executive Director. "Each artist brings not only their work but also their passion, making the fair a place where connections are built year after year.""
"Fairgoers can enjoy original art by independent artists as well as excellent food options for breakfast and lunch - including Grandma Jenny's famous giant cookies, hot and cold beverages (including beer and wine), and children's games and crafts. Admission is free. Due to the fragile nature of much of the artwork at the fair, pets are not permitted. Visitors hike, bike, and drive to the fair."
Under the canopy of coastal redwoods, the 62nd annual Kings Mountain Art Fair runs Labor Day weekend, August 30 through September 1, 2025. The juried event will showcase 130 artists, including 20 newcomers, and is recognized as a premier West Coast art event. The fair is 100% volunteer-run with 400 community volunteers and pursues a zero-waste goal. Proceeds fund the Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade and Kings Mountain Elementary. The KMVFB responds to over 300 calls annually. Admission is free; pets are not permitted due to fragile artwork. Food, beverages, children's activities, bicycle racks, and a shuttle serve visitors.
