The annual Brushy Mountain Apple Festival is one
of the largest one-day arts and crafts festivals in the
Southeast. The streets of downtown North Wilkesboro,
NC, are filled with over 425 arts and crafts, 100 food
concessions, 4 different music stages consisting of
bluegrass, country, folk, gospel and Appalachian
heritage. Cloggers, folk dancers, rope skippers and
square dancers provide additional entertainment
venues. Appalachian heritage crafts are highlighted

pottery throwing and quilting. Let us not forget the
apples! Local apple growers set up throughout the
