The WinterFest Arts Tour is returning to Northeast Georgia this weekend, featuring 175 artists from Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama. The tour will be taking place at four locations over two days, with each location offering a unique arts experience for visitors.

The Hardman Farm Historic Site, Helen Arts & Heritage Center, the Sautee Nacoochee Center, and Unicoi State Park & Lodge will all be hosting exhibitions of original art and crafts created by local and regional artists. Visitors will have the opportunity to purchase items or simply enjoy the artwork on display.

The WinterFest Arts Tour is a weekend-long celebration of art, history, and community. The event showcases the best of local and regional art and culture and provides a platform for artists to connect with audiences. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities and experiences, including guided tours, workshops, and live music performances.

Admission to all of the venues is free, but visitors may buy raffle tickets to enter to win one of three Grand Prizes valued at $250 each or more. Tickets may be purchased online or on-site during the event. Proceeds will go to benefit the nonprofit Sautee Nacoochee Center.
