The Mountain Heritage Festival spreads along Sparta�s Main Street in the old downtown area the third Saturday in September. Some 100 food and craft vendors and demonstrators participate in this old-fashioned street festival. Live musical entertainment and traditional mountain dance are capped off with the annual Possum Queen competition and crowning, always a crowd pleaser. There is no admission charge. This is a juried show. All crafts are handmade. Vendor application available.
