This year our Heritage festival is expanding to take over Locust Street, aka Lower St. We will have live demonstrations of traditional appalachian arts and crafts. The festival starts at 10 am and runs till 4 pm in Downtown Spruce Pine. This will be a great day for kids, parents, grandparents, and well…everyone.
Heritage Festival
Our mountain heritage lingers from generation to generation. The Mineral City Heritage Festival in October of each year in downtown Spruce Pine thrives on sharing the old traditional mountain traits. Folks can watch an old-fashioned train engine chugging and making apple cider, watch the pot boil with apples peeled, and the making of apple butter. Weaving on an old spinning wheel can be viewed in a window or the caning of a chair being done by hand. Many varieties of food are available to feast upon as you listen to the “picking and singing.” Games abound for children, which gives the down home family feel to Spruce Pine. Take a drive off the Blue Ridge Parkway by about five miles and venture into a vision of excitement from the days of old. October 8th, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
