When you think of Western North Carolina mountain festivals and special events, no town is better-known than tiny Dillsboro.
Beginning with the delightfully quirky Easter Hat Parade and ending with its famous Christmas Lights and Luminaries event, Dillsboro offers some of the Smokies most entertaining outdoor festivals.
Highlighting Dillsboro's festival season are special weekend events celebrating the Carolina mountains' arts and music, crafts, antiques and pottery. These are great times to visit Dillsboro and the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.
