Mountain Heritage Festival Today in Sparta
September 15 18th Annual Mountain Heritage Festival Craft and food vendors line Main Street in downtown Sparta NC in celebration of mountain heritage in craft and music. This year's entertainment features Wayne Henderson and Helen White.
With demonstrations of the skills of local ancestors and music that mixes local heritage with modern influences, there is something for everyone. Dancers will be kicking up their heels and the Possum Queen will be crowned.
