36th Annual Woollyworm Festival in Banner Elk
2013-10-19 00:00 - 2013-10-20 00:00
36th Annual Woolly Worm FestivalOCTOBER 19TH AND 20TH, 2013
Downtown Banner Elk, North Carolina
Saturday October 19: 9 am – 5 pm
Sunday October 20: 9 am – 4 pm
So since 1978, the residents of Banner Elk nestled between the Carolinaâ€™s largest ski resorts have celebrated the coming of the snow season with a Woolly Worm Festival. They set aside the third weekend in October to determine which one worm will have the honor of predicting the severity of the coming winter; and they make that worm earn the honor by winning heat after heat of hard-fought races â€“ up a three-foot length of string.
The Woolly Bear caterpillar has 13 brown and black segments, which the late Charles Von Canon explained to the small crowd that huddled together in the sub-freezing temperatures at the first Woolly Worm Festival correspond to the 13 weeks of winter. The lighter brown a segment is, the milder that week of winter will be. The darker black a segment is, the colder and snowier the corresponding week will be.
The Woolly Worm races begin around 10:00 a.m. Each heat consists of 25 worms and races continue all day until the grand final around 4 p.m. The winning worm on Saturday is declared the official winter forecasting agent. The Sunday worm races are for prestige, fun and small prizes.
In addition to the Woolly Worm Races, the festival features crafts, food vendors, live entertainment and much more. Last yearâ€™s festival attracted an estimated 23,000 fans, 140 vendors and around 1,000 race entrants.
The Woolly Worm Festival is sponsored by the Avery County Chamber of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club of Banner Elk and a portion of the proceeds go to support childrenâ€™s charities throughout the county and small business and tourism.
Young children ages 0 to 4 are admitted free.
Worm Race Registration: $5.00
No dogs are allowed on the grounds as per Avery County Health Department; except for seeing eye dogs and other “approved” service animals, etc; but we do have a doggie daycare area staffed by the best dog-sitters in North Carolina.

Friday and Saturday: 9am – 5pm
Since 1956. The Annual Mt. Mitchell Crafts Fair is held on the Town Square in Burnsville on the First Friday and Saturday of August. With approximately 200 juried crafts, this event more than qualifies as a craft shopper’s paradise, as evidenced by the over twenty-five thousand people who attend this event each year searching for those special, one-of-a-kind items created by artisans from across the Blue Ridge. Shoppers browse a wide selection of items, including handmade quilts, jewelry, hand-turned wooden household items, various types of pottery, art fabrics, rustic furniture, traditional mountain musical instruments, blacksmith creations, candles, soaps and lotions, and artwork of all mediums. Have a seat and watch as the artisans produce their craft throughout the day. Enjoy a lunch of southern favorites such as barbeque and sweet tea on the square as you listen to the live music and entertainment or perhaps try to keep up with the cloggers and other dancers as they kick up their heels on the stage. Step back into the past as you enjoy an old- fashioned Town Square event that exhibits Southern Hospitality at its best. Burnsville is located in Yancey County, NC, home of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi at an elevation of 6,684 feet. Burnsville is 20 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 35 miles northeast of Asheville.
