Festivals sponsored by Catch the Spirit of Appalachia
CSA's community work has been involved in festivals since it's inception almost 22 years ago. It is our belief we must celebrate our heritage and provide an avenue for our artists and crafters to earn monetary favors, while encouraging our young to honor the works of their family and friends.
We began with the "Festival of Many Colors," which grew into a partnership with Downtown Sylva Association in producing "Greening Up The Mountains."
We now co-sponsor the INSIDE Patchwork Folk & Fabric Festival with the Jackson County Recreation Department and the Appalachian Homestead Farm & Preserve, produce the Mountain Craft Fair section of the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad RAILFEST, and produce ColorFest: Art of the Blue Ridge for the town of Sylva.

All vendors participating in Catch the Spirit of Appalachia's festivals are dressed in traditional clothing to demonstrate the look of the settlers of the mountains. All work presented is authentically the work of the hands.
