The color around Blowing Rock is progressing nicely. While we are seeing color development, there is still plenty of green on the trees as it’s early in the season.

Happy Fall Y’all! Today, on the first day of Fall, we went to the beloved Bass Lake to take photos. The leaves seem to be turning faster this year than usual, but Bass Lake always turns at the beginning of the season due to the age of the trees and their proximity to water.

Head over to the Ale House in Blowing Rock! Stein holding competitions throughout the day, Souvenir cups and shirts, live music and more!

Fall is in full swing in the NC High Country, and we’re excited to welcome you! Enjoy events, music, and football against the extraordinary colorful backdrop…

Fall events make the season extra festive! If you have missed a fall festival, note the timing of individual events to plan ahead for the following year. Dates change, but in general, each festival is held the same weekend in each year (ex: Woolly Worm Festival is the third weekend in October).

Blowing rock offers picturesque, storybook scenery that is enhanced by the colors of Fall. Head over to the Blowing Rock Attraction, the town’s namesake, and take in the majesty of the mountains.

There’s lot of Halloween fun in the High Country! Some is scary, some is just a little spooky.
