Get ready for a weekend of creativity, community, and world-class woodwork at the Chainsaw Carving Festival in downtown Shelby, happening Friday, July 11 through Saturday, July 12, 2025. See the event on our calendar.

This hometown festival features live chainsaw carving, a carving auction, food trucks, kids’ activities, a community-wide yard sale, and a growing selection of local craft vendors.
