Hours: 9:30AM - 4:30PM Cost: Parking, Admission, and Entertainment are Free! Festival Information: The Southern Heritage Festival and Craft Fair is a celebration of the traditional arts, crafts, music, food, and homesteading skills of the rural south. Our Festival will be an interactive “educational event” intended to demonstrate and preserve the many facets of our Southern Heritage through demonstrations of the rural lifestyle and homesteading skills that were such an integral part of our past. The annual Festival will be centered around the recreated old log cabin in the pecan grove on the campus of O’Berry Center. The log Cabin features the completed works of Berry Towne Crafts, a group of Artisan Studios that include pottery, woodworking, soap making, and other traditional crafts.
