✨Festival update: we’re moving to Saturday, October 17th 🏺

Our Fall Pottery Festival is a rain or shine event, and we were ready for this Saturday.

Hurricane Isaias won’t be coming our way, but the wind and rain it’s sending could. Every one of our vendors is set up under their own market tent, and high winds aren’t safe for our artists or for you. So we’re moving the festival one week.

Everything else stays the same:
🗓 Saturday, October 17, 2026 | 10AM–4PM
📍 8300 Monroe Rd, Charlotte, NC
✨ Free admission, free parking, ADA accessible
🎟 Check in at the raffle table for a chance to win one of 4 gift cards. Winners announced at 1pm!

Same 90+ artists, same festival, one week later. Please share with a friend who had it on their calendar! 🙏

Questions? Drop them in the comments.
