📣 50th Annual Fall Festival Vendor Applications Are Now Open! 📣

Come celebrate Appalachia with us October 3–4, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC.

Established in 1974, Fall Festival has grown into one of the largest and most beloved events of its kind in the region. This year marks our 50th anniversary, and we’re looking forward to welcoming more than 230 craft vendors, 29 food vendors, and nearly 75 craft demonstrators across our 270-acre campus. Each year, over 13,000 visitors travel from across the southern Appalachian region to celebrate craft, music, dance, and community.

Vendor applications are open now through May 4, with notifications sent after May 13.
Based on vendor feedback, we’re using ZAPP for applications this year. Be sure to set up your ZAPP account in advance.

Y'all who know me know that I have a soft spot when it comes to critters.

Every 3 years or so, I make Angels from Pasta to sell. And each time I make them, there are a few dozen left over.

This year, there were 5 and a half dozen left. They were just dropped off at Logan's Run thrift shop. They'll go fast.
