Autumn Leaves Festival - Mt Airy, NC - Festivals on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
2009 was the 43rd annual Autumn Leaves Festival.

The Autumn Leaves Festival received the “BEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE” Silver award in 2008 by the BLUE RIDGE COUNTRY MAGAZINE.

The festival showcases our rich musical heritage, such as Old-Time, Bluegrass and Gospel performed by local musicians on the downtown stage; the unique arts & crafts of more than 160 craftsmen line the streets with many demonstrating their talents and skills passed down through the generations; then there is "Food for the Soul", ham biscuits, collards & cornbread, barbeque, hamburgers, ground steak and more served with hospitality by our local civic and other community groups. It's a walker's paradise with visual delights and mouthwatering treats at every stop. It's a toe-tapping, foot stomping, hand clapping kind of weekend where old friendships are renewed and new friendships are made. The Autumn Leaves Festival is a homecoming where guests become neighbors. (visit link)
