This year will be the 15th Annual Greening Up The Mountains Festival! The festival, which draws over 10,000+ visitors each year, is named for the way the "spring green" creeps up the mountainsides. It is a celebration of local economy, sustainability and traditional heritage crafts. The largest event Jackson County hosts will feature three music stages for bands, performances and dances as well as a Youth Talent Show. Don't miss the storytelling, face painting and other fun activities. Perhaps the best part of the festival is the recycled materials superhero costume contest! If you're a runner you'll also want to participate in the Annual Greening Up the Mountains 5k Run.
Runners, sponsers and vendors may all find registration and application forms here.
