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.
