Weekly Updates to Begin Mid-September, Dailies October 1.
It’s always a tricky task to accurately predict fall color in the High Country in terms of arrival, peak and vividness of hues…but it’s safe to predict that fall color in and around North Carolina’s Prettiest Small Town will be worth seeing. And this year it seems to be arriving early.
Visitors to Blowing Rock in October will find almost daily events and activities that will add enjoyment to the scenic beauty of the surroundings and the charm of the town’s picturesque Main Street. A full listing of events: blowingrock.com/eventcalendar.php.
