21th Annual Mountain Heritage Festival
Craft and food vendors line Main Street Sparta NC in
celebration of mountain heritage in craft and music. This year's
entertainment features Loose Strings and 3 other local bands.
With
demonstrations of the skills of local ancestors and music that mixes
local heritage with modern influences, there is something for everyone.
Dancers will be kicking up their heels and the Possum Queen
will be crowned.
Sparta NC is located in the northwest Blue Ridge Mountains
between the New River and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Sparta and all of Alleghany County offer scenic vistas, unspoiled
landscape and friendly folk. At the crossroads of two
of the county's main corridors, US 21 and NC 18, Sparta NC is the physical
and community life center for Alleghany County. Like many southern towns, the
Courthouse is the focal point of downtown Sparta. The original business district
maintains the charm of the town's early history.
