41st Annual Woolly Worm Festival

October 20th, 9:00am-5:00pm

October 21st, 9:00am-4:00pm

The Annual Woolly Worm Festival takes place each fall on the third weekend in October in downtown Banner Elk. This festival is annually attended by an estimated 20,000 guests. The Woolly Worm festival is one of the High Country’s largest and most unique festivals.

Up to 1,000 worm racers vie for the top position and the honor of having their worm predict the upcoming winter weather at the festival’s famous woolly worm races. The winning worm on Saturday takes away a whopping $1,000 and on Sunday, $500. Worm races are limited so be sure to come early and register your worm.

In addition to the worm races, there will be delicious food, over 150 craft vendors, great music all weekend, trampoline & inflatable rides, fall foliage and beautiful mountain views. Shop for woolly worm memorabilia, souvenir shirts, and hand-crafted items that will become family heirlooms. There will be something for everyone!

The Festival is sponsored by Banner Elk Kiwanis and the Avery County Chamber of Commerce and all proceeds are given back to the community to enhance our schools, children’s programs, and to promote business and tourism in Avery County.

Admission is $6.00 for Adults, $4.00 for Children 6-12, Free for 5 and under.

Girls’ Belly Dance FREE Trial Class (10-15yrs)

For girls aged 10-15 ~ FREE TRIAL CLASS August 31st !!

In a fun and supportive atmosphere, this class teaches a traditional, non-performance style of belly dance. In Middle Eastern cultures, girls begin learning belly dance in their pre-adolescent and adolescent years to help them transition gracefully into womanhood ~ with awareness, respect and wisdom about their bodies. All the fundamentals of belly dance will be covered – posture, isolations, fluid movements, shimmies, simple combinations and fun group dances.

The class will include time to discuss how belly dance helps to:
1) strengthen core muscles, balance and fluidity
2) create a deep sense of body awareness and intuition
3) foster self-love, confidence and a positive body image
4) express emotions in a healthy, balanced way
5) create bonds of sisterhood
6) ease symptoms of moon-time (menstruation)

For girls aged 10-15 (Boys sincerely interested will not be turned away, must talk to me beforehand)
FREE trial class August 31st !!
6-Week Series begins September 7
