Marion’s 41st Annual Mountain Glory Festival is set to take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024. This craft fair is held every year on the 2nd Saturday of October in downtown Marion. The festival celebrates small-town life in the mountains and features locally made arts and crafts, classic festival foods, live entertainment, and old-time mountain music.
The perfect way to celebrate the arrival of autumn in the Blue Ridge, visitors looking for original handicrafts will find plenty of choices shopping in three jam-packed blocks. Fun for the whole family, don't miss the annual Mountain Glory Quilt Show inside the McDowell Arts Council or the "Children's Arena" with hands-on activities, local entertainment, and the ever-popular best-dressed pet contest.
