This May will bring back two annual events in Saluda, the Saluda Tailgate Market & the Saluda Arts Festival.
The Tailgate Market is held from 4:30-6:30 every Friday from May to October, beginning Friday, May 4th. Located in the West Main parking lot, the market is operated by volunteers from the Saluda Business Association, & it serves the City of Saluda, Polk County Agricultural Economic Development, and growers from both Polk and Henderson counties. Local producers are connected with consumers to keep food dollars in the community and support regional fresh food and family farms, thereby protecting the flourishing of beautiful ridges, fertile fields and clean watersheds.
The market has been a spring to fall Saluda tradition since 2010, with neighbors gathering to meet growers and purchase a complete and balanced array of meat, fish, poultry, eggs and cheese, seasonal vegetables and fruit, baked and preserved goods, flowers, herbs, and plants for the home gardener.
Saluda Arts Festival
Saturday May 19th, 10am-4pm.
Cultivating and promoting its heritage in the arts, the Saluda Business Association invites you to the 14th annual Saluda Arts Festival scheduled for May 19, 2018. Showcasing fine arts and crafts from local and regional visual and performing artists, the Saluda Arts Festival draws thousands of spring tourists visiting Western North Carolina.
We have a variety of new spring scarves arriving, like these delicate silk scarves by artist Ayn Hanna, based out of Fort Collins, CO. As a print maker & textile artist, Ayn achieves visual storytelling by layering natural & abstract images, & she is a master of dying with natural plant materials.
See the latest work by potter Karen Newgard (Asheville, NC). This functional porcelain ware is decorated with intricate black & white designs using a technique called sgraffito, & the interiors are glazed with soft pastel colors. Each design is playful & unique.
We’ve had to cancel our current evening plans for the annual Hometown Christmas Stroll today, Friday December 8th! Due to the accumulating snow, we want everyone to stay safe & avoid traveling whenever possible.

Each year Heartwood Gallery purchases a handmade holiday ornament to raise funds for a non-profit organization. The artwork is selected for you to give as a gift or to cherish in your own home, as an expression of love for family, friends, & neighbors. When you purchase this ornament, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, who has provided financial & food assistance to thousands of Polk County residents in need for over 20 years. The ornament we have chosen this year is the Entwined Celtic Heart, cast in pewter by artist Cynthia Webb. Finished with a matte sheen, this heart shimmers subtly as it hangs from a sheer teal ribbon. The ornament costs $18, & is packaged with a card recognizing the donation to the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, as well as information about the artist.
Visit Heartwood Gallery to purchase your Entwined Celtic Heart fundraiser gift. You can also call (828)749-9365 or e-mail info@heartwoodsaluda.com for more artist & ordering information.
