32nd Annual Sourwood Festival

Aug 08, 2009 - Aug 09, 2009

Black Mountain, N.C. - The Sourwood Festival, now in its 32nd year, is a traditional, family-oriented mountain festival bringing fun and entertainment to the community since 1977.

Sponsored by the Black Mountain-Swannanoa Chamber of Commerce, the festival takes place in historic downtown August 8 and 9. The event is free and open to the public. The festival is named after the region’s important honey source, the Sourwood tree, which blooms in mid to late summer each year.

The festival consists of two hundred booths of arts, crafts and other interesting items. There is also food of all kinds, rides, games, a children’s fun park including a free children’s area, and a huge tent with free entertainment including music and dancing. The Sourwood Festival attracts over 30,000 visitors from all over the country.
