Greening Up the Mountains is an annual one day street festival in held downtown Sylva NC. This years festival will be held on Saturday April 28th. It starts at 10:00 and runs through 4:00 pm

Main Street And Railroad Avenue will be closed to traffic and filled with traditional heritage crafts and artists. Three stages will feature local bands, dancers, children's performances, and a talent contest. For the children there will be an inflatable slide storytelling, face painting, and much more.
