61st Kings Mountain Art Fair, Aug. 31-Sept. 2
If you’re in Woodside, the Kings Mountain Firehouse and Community Center is where the 61st Kings Mountain Art Fair will be held from Friday, August 31, 10 a.m. to Monday, September 2, 5 p.m. More than 140 artists will be at the show. From 8 to 10:30 a.m., you can get breakfast, and from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., you can get lunch.
By holding a zero-waste event, the Kings Mountain Art Fair wants to help the community and the earth. The Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade and Kings Mountain Elementary School get money from the fair every year.
There are no pets allowed in the fair because the art on show is fragile. People in the area can walk, ride bikes, or drive to the fair. People who park along Skyline Boulevard can use a bus service. There is a fair in a coastal redwood forest that is quite high up, so people are told to dress in layers.
