Sky Valley Fall Fest
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2017/10 - October
Sky Valley, Georgia, is home to one of the most beloved autumn events in the region, Sky Valley Fall Fest, being held this year on Saturday, October 21, from 10:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M.
Sky Valley is the northernmost city in Georgia and its northern city limit is the Georgia-North Carolina State Line. Situated in a scenic mountain valley on the northwest side of Rabun Bald, Georgia’s second highest mountain, Sky Valley’s elevation is approximately 3,500 feet above sea level, so it’s also the city with the highest elevation in Georgia.
Over the years, families come back again and again for this outdoor event featuring something for all ages. The hay bale trail is a time-honored tradition that grows every year. Whimsically decorated bales of hay are strategically placed throughout the festival and make perfect photo-ops for your fall Instagram shots. You even get to vote on your favorite display.
Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you Sky Valley has gone to the dogs! As a dedicated supporter of Rabun PAWS 4 Life, they do all they can to help raise money for this no-kill shelter whose mission is to unite pets with people for a lifetime of happiness. Along with a silent auction, the Fall Fest is once again sponsoring the Howl-O-Ween costume contest. Cost is $5 per entry and all proceeds benefit Rabun PAWS 4 Life. Awards are given out for the Funniest, Scariest, Most Original, Overall Best, and even the Best Pet-Owner combination. Photos from last year’s contest are available on the website in case you need some creative inspiration.
It isn’t just the dogs on display, though. The Cruise In Car Show brings a whole host of car enthusiasts to the mountains and the colorful arts and crafts vendors complete the festival atmosphere.
Hay rides, live music, and delicious food make for a wonderful day spent outside at the Sky Valley Fall Fest, Saturday, October 21. For more information, visit SkyValleyGA.com or call (706) 746-2204.
