This is the 14th year for this popular event, which “celebrates the fall season with thousands of “leaf peepers” who travel through the Cashiers area to enjoy the wonderful hues of red, orange, and yellow that signify the beginning of this highly anticipated season,” says Shelby Batchelor, community event and volunteer coordinator. More than 90 regional artisan vendors will be displaying their wares. Visitors will find unique handcrafted wood, pottery, jewelry and much more on display and for purchase throughout the weekend. Food, drink, and live music add to the festive spirit of this event. » The Village Green of Cashiers, 160 Frank Allen Rd.; Friday & Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday, 10 a.m-3 p.m.; free; (828) 743-3434; www.villagegreencashiersnc.com.
