Western Carolina University has proudly hosted the Mountain Heritage Day festival on the last Saturday in September for 50 years! This cherished tradition has been the university’s gift to the community, preserving Appalachian culture and traditions through education. Starting this year, the festival is getting an exciting, fresh, new look!
The festival will now span an entire week, featuring newly added programming such as evening faculty-led lectures with hands-on involvement, heritage demonstrators on the plaza, and a Friday night concert at Bridge Park in Sylva. As such, the event will now be called Mountain Heritage Days.
We will continue to offer an array of family-friendly activities on Saturday from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm, including cultural demonstrations, music, clogging, mule and tractor rides, traditional arts and crafts vendors, festival food, and much more! The shift to a week-long model provides additional opportunities for patrons to participate and enhances the visitor experience. We are confident that the new format will allow everyone to become immersed in Appalachian culture and history, keeping the tradition alive for another 50 years.

Plant sale for the community
On Saturday, July 19, the conference opens to the public from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Ramsey Center on WCU’s campus. Community members are invited to attend free educational sessions and explore a native plant sale in the main arena.
“We really want to push more people to come to the plant sale and the free sessions happening on that day,” said Brittany Marshall, associate director of continuing education at WCU.
Vendors will sell a wide variety of native plants, books and gardening resources. Most will accept credit cards and carts will be available for hauling purchases, though guests are welcome to bring their own wagons.
Parking is available in WCU’s parking garage near the Ramsey Center.
