October 11 » Black Mountain
Open to all ages, this festival offers a wide array of activities to enjoy in a picturesque setting. Expect festival games and bouncy houses, a “Ridin’ on Faith” horse show, live entertainment, a car show, face painting, hayrides, a tour of the facilities, and a silent auction with online bidding. Initially established as Mountain Orphanage in 1904, Black Mountain Home for Children was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1947. The Christian-based organization operates free of government funding, so donations to help their underserved youth are especially welcome. » 80 Lake Eden Rd.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; free; (828) 686-3451; blackmountainhome.org
