The festival is an activity-filled, family event that commemorates the traditions of mountain living and craft in a unique and beautiful setting.
More than 100 forestry students, traditional craftsmen and exhibitors will be on site during the celebration.
Festival-goers can cheer as college forestry students compete during the Woodsmen’s Meet that has the flavor of an old-time lumberjack competition. The students test their skills in a number of events including archery, axe throwing, crosscut sawing and pole felling.
Special thanks to Brevard Bojangles for providing breakfast for our competitors.
