Mountain Heritage Celebrated this Weekendin Sparta NC

September 19, 2015   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.
