36th Annual John C. Campbell Folk School Festival

One of the largest and most popular events of its type in the region, John C. Campbell Fall Festival is a celebration of our rich Appalachian heritage.

Fine craft, craft-making demonstrations, music and dance performances, kids' activities, tasty food, and a visit to the school's Craft Shop and History Center make Fall Festival a great way to begin the autumn season. Whether you are an old time Folk School fan or or a first time visitor, this is an event worth traveling to.

If you have never taken a class at the Folk School, you should check out all they have to offer.

We are already starting to see leaves change color. With all the rain we have had, this should be a beautifully colorful fall. Plan a trip to the Mountains and lift your spirits.

The Highlander has several new stories, and county profiles in production as well as new interactive features being developed, so keep up with our newsletters for the announcements.
