One of Peachtree City's oldest traditions comes back this weekend: the Shakerag Arts & Crafts Festival opens Saturday, Sept. 19, at Shakerag Knoll inside the McIntosh Trail Recreation Complex — and it won't cost you a dime to get in.
The two-day outdoor festival runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. at 191 McIntosh Trail. More than 125 booths from regional artists and craftspeople fill the pine-shaded grounds, offering handcrafted goods ranging from home décor and jewelry to accessories and garden items, according to the City of Peachtree City and Atlanta on the Cheap.
Beyond the shopping, the festival brings festival food and live entertainment, and organizers describe it as a family-friendly event with activities for kids. The outdoor pine setting at Shakerag Knoll gives the weekend a distinctly local character that sets it apart from the typical parking-lot craft fair.
Peachtree City Magazine lists the Shakerag Arts & Crafts Festival among the city's longest-running traditions. The event is organized through the city's Recreation Special Events program.
With free admission, the main cost is whatever catches your eye at the booths. If you go Sunday, note the shorter window — the festival closes at 5 p.m., three hours earlier than Saturday.
Why it matters — A free, long-running community arts weekend gives Peachtree City residents a no-barrier way to support regional makers and enjoy outdoor entertainment close to home.
