Fall Festival 2023

Celebrate Appalachian culture at the 47th Fall Festival!

October 7-8, 2023

oh boy!

This has been something that we look forward to every year. This year, I am so excited to be a vendor in the juried festival barn!

This festival really does have everything. Tons of area for the kids to run and play, crafts, fine art, snack food, gourmet food and even gluten-free cookies!

Am I focusing too much on the food here?

Seriously though, Brasstown is known for its community of artisans. This is when we all come together and put on our best hometown show. You can expect exquisite jewelry, gorgeous raku pottery, sophisticated woodworking, and maybe even a fancy banjo.

I cannot wait to see you there!
