The Butternut Creek Festival Benefits Both

Our Community & Our Sponsors

• An opportunity to bring between 10,000-15,000 visitors to our community each year, resulting in increased business opportunities. Over 35% of festival visitors come from outside the local area. 
• The festival, the City of Blairsville, and Union County are promoted both nationally and regionally through newspapers, magazines, radio spots, the internet and social media. 
• An opportunity for local non-profit organizations, through reduced exhibitor space fees, to educate and gain support from their local community. 
• A partnership between High Country Artisans, Inc. and the Union County Recreation Department resulted in the construction of the beautiful and functional gazebo located in Meeks Park. This gazebo is used as a stage for entertainment during the Butternut Creek Festival. 
• A partnership between High Country Artisans, Inc. and the Blairsville/Union County Chamber of Commerce, Union County Fire Dept, Union County Sheriff's Dept, Union County Recreation Department, Union County Schools Art Programs, and the Union County Sole Commissioner. These partnerships support art programs in the community.
