**46th annual Autumn Leaves Festival**
The Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce present the 46th annual Autumn Leaves Festival held October 12-14, 2012. The Autumn Leaves Festival is always the second full weekend in October. This event is one of the longest running in-and most successful-events in the state and was selected as one of the Southeast Tourism Society's Top 20 Events for the month of October 2011. The roster of artisans and craftspeople covers such media as jewelry, pottery, paintings, and textiles along with 25 food vendors. WPAQ, the local AM radio station and recognized as the "granddaddy" of Old Time music will coordinate and host the bandstand on Independence Blvd. Nearly 200,000 people will frequent the streets of Mount Airy over the three day period. There are a number of parking lots in the downtown area that are well marked for the festival.
The festival began as a celebration of the end of tobacco and apple harvesting season over 40 years ago. Now, we celebrate the breathtaking fall season that is upon us. Through the years, hundreds of thousands of visitors have enjoyed the true flavor of rural America and its distinctive character, rich heritage and scenic beauty.
Our small hometown radiates with the spectacular scenery of the entire mountain side bathed in autumn reds and luminous gold’s set against the scenic backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The area is particularly beautiful at this time of year when there's still a chance to catch some warm sunshine and the leaves start taking on the gold's and russets of autumn. Where shadows last a little longer, doors open a little wider, conversation lasts a little longer and the spirit of our community has a captivating quality on everyone who visits. This great community once again puts out the "WELCOME" mat and invites one and all to come and experience the true spirit of America’s Hometown.
