Open call for Greening Up the Mountains artists, vendors

art greeningup The 17th Annual Greening Up the Mountains festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 26, in downtown Sylva.

The festival planning committee is continuing to accept applications for vendors, demonstrators, crafters, and environmental groups.

Daylong events will be held on Main Street and in the Bridge Park, beginning with a 5K race sponsored by the Jackson County Recreation/Parks Department. Children’s activities, demonstrations, a youth talent contest and live performances by a wide variety of Jackson County musicians will be featured throughout the day.

Applications will be accepted through April 15.
