Here's What's New at Riverfest Arts and Crafts Festival

Riverfest Arts and Crafts Festival, organized and hosted by the Service League of Cherokee County, is Cherokee Countys longest-running fall festival. More than thirty years ago, the Service League created Riverfest as a way to raise funds for the children in Cherokee County whose families were
facing hardships.

Riverfest hosts some of the Southeasts finest artists, crafters, and entertainment, which draws record-breaking crowds year after year. With a line-up of returning favorites and many new artists and crafters, the 34th Annual Riverfest Arts and Crafts Festival is sure to be the best yet!

New to Riverfest this year is Aralyns Boulangerie Cupcakes. Not only are the cupcakes and other baked goods amazing, but Aralyn is nothing short of amazing herself! Aralyn Russell is only eleven years old with three years of baking experience under her belt already. She says she has been baking with her mother since she was little. She was inspired to get serious about her baking talent after watching Kids Baking Championship on the Food Network. Her dream is to appear on Kids Baking Championship and to also open her own cupcake shop. No doubt this girl is going places. Be sure to check her out in the childrens area at Riverfest, and you may want to snag an autograph along with that cupcake!

Another exciting vendor new to Riverfest this year is Willow and Ash Designs. Willow and Ash Designs features custom, stamped, and beaded jewelry. The jewelry is unique, beautiful, and can be custom made just for you. Anyone looking for the perfect piece of jewelry will be sure to find it here. Check them out in the arts and crafts area at Riverfest this year.

Riverfest is also excited to host Deeloochia and Southern Pine Restorations, both great places to find stylish, one-of-a-kind home decor. Deeloochia specializes in custom-made gourd lamps. And Southern Pine Restorations is a husband-and-wife team that builds, paints, and refinishes furniture. Visit these vendors, and take home a unique lamp or beautiful piece of furniture to complete your living area.
