The Ninth Annual Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival, sponsored by The Greater Cashiers Merchants Association, is right around the corner.
On October 6-8, The Village Green and Commons in the center of Cashiers will host a bevy of local and national artists who present arts and crafts of all types.
You can find one-of-a-kind apparel and jewelry along with handcrafted furniture, pottery, and photography. If you’re looking for unique gifts and patio art, you’ll find
it there.
Last year’s event drew well over 7,000 visitors who come to the mountains for the cool temperatures and autumn colors. Anyone who’s been to the Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival knows The Village Green is the ideal setting for festivals of this type. Vendors are set up throughout the 12-acre park, there are public restrooms, and ample parking. The pace is relaxed and everyone is there to have fun.
No festival is complete without terrific food and drinks. From gourmet to popcorn and wine and beer, there is something for everyone. Most people enjoy dining on the many picnic tables in the beautiful park or at the gazebo as they listen to the music.
The festival opens at 10:00 A.M., with live music scheduled from noon to 5:00 P.M. on Saturday and Sunday on two different stages. All of these shows are free and open to the public. Most of these performers are local and regional acts, ranging from singer-songwriters, to jazz, blues, Americana, bluegrass, rock, soul, funk, and more.
