In Granville County, fall brings us outdoors. And when Granville goes outdoors…We often hit the streets. From food to music, to celebrating our heritage, Granville County festivals and events are uniquely Carolina.  Our events are not just for attending, but for engaging with and becoming part of our community. Come join us!!

The Oink & Ale Festival is a great way to spend a Saturday night in Eden. There is something for everyone at this event, so be sure to come out and enjoy it.

The Artisan Marketplace with over 140 merchants is filled with returning favorites that include an extensive array of vendors offering jewelry, clothing of renaissance and medieval fashion, handmade art and décor, pottery and blown and torched glass demonstrations, and activities for children that include people powered amusement rides and countryside faire games such as the castle climbing wall, archery and tomato tossing at a fool.

Tickets for the Saturday, October 29, 2022 Smoky Mountains Bluegrass Festival presented by the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) and Mast General Store featuring Balsam Range, Sister Sadie, and the Amanda Cook Band are on sale now.

Each Festival day is filled with an abundance of attractions. The 25-acre village of Fairhaven has sixteen stages packed with costumed performers offer a unique mix of continuous music, dance, comedy, and circus entertainment.

It is going to be big splash here in Eden!

Celebrating 29 Years of Cheers, the annual Carolina Renaissance Festival returns Saturdays and Sundays for eight consecutive weekends, from October 1st through November 20th

Whether you’re a live music lover, a vendor event shopper, a beer and wine sipper, a foodie, a seasoned paddler, or a fun-lovin’ paddle newbie, we have something for you.

This year’s festival will have balloon rides, a car show, a bike show, a 5K race, a kid zone, food trucks and craft vendors, and entertainment every night.
