maggie Valley Festival and Events
An antique tractor show and an international dance festival – a moonlight footrace and a celebration of mountain trout. Need we say more? Maggie Valley hosts a variety of events – rallies, shows, festivals, concerts – throughout the year. Thousands of motorcyclists and automobile enthusiasts come to Maggie Valley every year for the rallies and to experience the thrills on the area’s snaking, scenic roads. They love the hospitality and easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. With the rich vocal and instrumental traditions of the Southern mountains, concerts and music festivals are a mainstay in the lineup of Maggie Valley events.


Along with bluegrass and country music, you can usually catch a rock & roll show and even hear the drifting melodies of beach music. Whether it's barbecue or chili, Folkmoot or fireworks, Maggie Valley has events to suit everyone in the family.
