Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival
Written By: A.J. Stewart | Issue: 2018/09 - September
Just because the summer season has ended, doesn’t mean there isn’t still plenty to see and do here on the Plateau. Our seasonal guests will be returning for one last visit to our beautiful mountains to witness Mother Nature replace her brilliant green dress with her cloak of gold, red, and orange. The Village Green takes advantage of this transitional season to host the 10th annual Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival on Columbus Day weekend.
Selected by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the Top 20 Tourism Events in October, the Leaf Festival is the perfect place to get a head start on your Christmas shopping. On October 5–7, over 100 vendors will spread out across the 13-acre park, showcasing beautiful woodworks, metalworks, fiberworks, and pottery. One of a kind pieces like jewelry, paintings, and photography will sit alongside specialty food vendors and their selection of soup and dip mixes.
A concert on the Green on Friday night is the perfect send off for the incredible season we have had. If you can’t make it Friday night, catch one of the other concerts that will be held throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday on the Green and at the Gazebo. Lunch will be available at one of the many food trucks.
Hosted by the Village Green, the Leaf Festival will also showcase a juried art show. Be one of the thousands of ‘leafers’ that come to the Plateau to see our dramatic landscape in the most beautiful season of the year. As always, the Leaf Festival is free to attend. Come celebrate the end of another beautiful summer on the Plateau.
