Festivals sponsored by Catch the Spirit of Appalachia
CSA's community work has been involved in festivals since it's inception almost 18 years ago. It is our belief that 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," that grew into a partnership with Downtown Sylva Association in producing "Greening Up The Mountains." We will once again be participating in
the Greening Up the Mountains festival on April 26,2008. We also co-sponor the INSIDE fabric festival with the Jackson County Recreation Department and the Appalachian Homestead Farm & Preserve—The Patchwork Fabric Festival on June 7, 2008 (information listed in this website), and produce the Mountain Craft Fair section of the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad RAILFEST on September 19, 20, and 21, 2008.
