Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival
Written By: A.J. Stewart | Issue: 2018/10 - October
With Labor Day behind us, the Plateau is turning its attention to the holidays and all that our beautiful communities have to offer in this golden season. Pumpkin patches are popping up; ice rinks are opening; fires are blazing and dinner parties are being planned.
But the one thing that everyone, visitors and residents alike, are looking forward to: The Cashiers Leaf Festival. On Columbus Day weekend, the Village Green will host their 10th annual celebration of the Plateau’s most beautiful season.
The Leaf Festival was selected by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the Top 20 Tourism Events in October, and for good reason. On October 5 – 7, the 13-acre park will be dotted with white tents, showcasing artists and their talents. Fine art, basketry, pottery, sculpture, and much more will be available for purchase as well as admiration at the juried art show. There will also be a merchant mall, with specialty food vendors and giftware. Over 100 vendors will be there to help you find the perfect gifts for the people on your Christmas shopping list.
On Friday night, a concert will be held on the Green. Other concerts 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. As always, the Leaf Festival is free to attend. The festival will be open rain or shine, so come join us as we say goodbye to the summer season and welcome the glorious, golden autumn.
