Climate change might be pushing the last frost date earlier and earlier in our lovely mountains, but ask a farmer and they'll tell you: don't plant yer maters til after Mother's Day. So we're going to celebrate the last frost right around when they tell us to!Come out on Saturday May 16th to celebrate another amazing spring in the loveliest town we know. This year's Last Frost Festival will feature our fan-favorite Native Plants Raffle! The raffle will include over a dozen wildflower, shrub, and tree species native to Haywood County, including Dwarf Crested Iris, Wild Indigo, Eastern Redbud, Carolina All-Spice, Scarlet Beebalm, American Hazelnut, Downy Skull-Cap, Wild Columbine, and many more! Tickets are available at the manager’s tent for $1, and all proceeds go to supporting market operations.
This year, we're introducing a fun new kid's activity, too, our Inaugural Mammoth Sunflower Contest! Kids can stop by the manager's tent to plant a sunflower seed and, come September, whoever has the tallest one wins a treat!
We can't wait party with you!
