Fall is always a bustling time in the mountainside with music, arts, and heritage at the forefront of fall festival season. Throughout the season, embrace the mountain history, culture, and music in the Heritage Days and Appalachian Festivals, taste mountain-made brews at the Craft Beverage Festival and the Whiskey Rebellion, or embrace the season with Evergreen Heritage Center's Autumn Festival. These festivals and events take you from serene changing of the season all the way through the chilling Halloween holiday.
