For over 100 years, the Cherokee Indian Fair has been a premier annual event in the Cherokee community. A combination of a classic country fair—with carnival rides, games, and food—and a cultural celebration featuring traditional Cherokee arts and crafts, the Miss Cherokee competition, and stickball matches, the fair spans a week, with themed days including Elders Day, Parade Day, and Children’s Day. Try Cherokee fry bread and traditional weaving or pottery during craft demonstrations. » Cherokee Fairgrounds, 545 Tsali Blvd.; Tuesday-Saturday, ;$10; (800) 438-1601; www.visitcherokeenc.com
