Whether you are shopping for a small souvenir or a living room set, unique arts and crafts or a pair of flip flops – you can find it all in Bryson City. Our town may be small but we offer a variety of stores– if we don't have it, you probably don't need it.

Many shops showcase area artisans who create one-of-a-kind musical instruments, handcrafted jewelry, hand-turned wood objects, unique baskets and pottery. You can tour artist's galleries and studios, antique stores and interesting gift shops.

Other stores feature books about hiking trails, tall tales, and Appalachian history as well as light vacation reading, cookbooks and children's stories and CDs of mountain and Celtic music.
