Fall fun! Valle Country Fair returns Oct 18th (cancelled last fall due to Helene). One of the top art & craft festivals in WNC with 100+ vendors, paired with harvest flavors of Brunswick Stew, barbecue, and homemade apple butter, jams, cakes, pies and more. Gorgeous setting in a valley field. Mountain music too. Just 6 miles from Banner Elk - the same weekend as Woolly Worm Festival. Free admission, $10/car for parking. The Fair raises funds for human service organizations in Avery & Watauga Counties, more than $1.3 million in the past 46 years. Located across from Holy Cross Church, 122 Skiles Way, Banner Elk
