Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: October 2024
The Village Green’s Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival, slated for Friday, October 11, through Sunday, October 13, is a vivid proclamation of the community’s deep commitment to artistry and music and food.
The only thing more beautiful than a gloriously green summer on the Plateau is watching it fade into the golden hues of fall. Everyone has their favorite thing about the autumn season, whether it be blazing fires, beautiful scenery or pumpkin spice everything.
Quite possibly the most anticipated event of the season in Cashiers is the Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival. Selected by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the Top 20 Tourism Events in October, the Leaf Festival takes advantage of this season of brilliant color as our seasonal guests return for another visit to our beloved mountains.
Regional artisans and merchants make their way to the Village Green (located at the crossroads of Highways 64 and 107) for the festival, set Friday through Sunday, October 11 through 13.
Visitors will find unique handcrafted items for purchase including wood items, furniture, accessories, pottery, jewelry, patio furniture and accessories, garden sculptures, paintings, carvings, scarves, linens, and so much more.
Part of the fun is taking the time to visit your favorite artists who love to share stories about their creations. If you’re looking for that unique one-of-a-kind piece for yourself or as a gift, you’ll find it here.
Parking is free, restrooms are available, children’s activities will be staged and it’s the perfect venue for an idyllic fall day of fun for the whole family. There’ll also be live music to complement the uniquely seasonal spirit.
Artisan-vendors will be set up from the Gazebo at the Cashiers Crossroads all the way to the Commons Lawn.
There will be live music on Saturday and Sunday — 11:00 A.M. Saturday, it’s Jennifer Goree Music; 1:00 P.M., it’s Mountain Magic, and at 3:00 P.M. it’s Ellies Groove. Then on Sunday, Wild Mountain Time takes the stage at 11:00 A.M.; followed by George Reeves at 1:00 P.M.
The Village Green’s 2024 hand painted glass ornaments will be available for purchase during the festival.
