Autumn Leaves Festival

About

Held each October in downtown Mount Airy, Autumn Leaves Festival draws thousands of visitors for a three-day mix of live music, arts and crafts, and food. Expect 200+ artisans selling handcrafted items — many demonstrating heritage skills — alongside food vendors serving regional specialties like ham biscuits, BBQ, and ground steak. Live Old-Time, Bluegrass, and Gospel music runs on multiple stages; bring an instrument if you're inclined to jam. Nationally recognized event with strong foot traffic and an established audience.
