Fall festivals in North/South Carolina, Georgia & Alabama

Looking for fall festivals in the Carolinas, GA, AL and TN. We are traveling first to see our new grandbaby from Savannah to Charlotte, then roaming for a few weeks .Suggestions for Good local places to eat along the way would also be welcome!
  • I can't comment on any of the festivals except the Apple Festival in Ellijay, GA. It has turned into an over-crowded tourist trap. You know the kind...every little activity costs a few dollars for about 10 seconds of fun, lots of junk peddlers, trash littered field, tour buses, noisy generators, etc. The only reference to an "apple" is the name of the festival.

    Not to say that it doesn't have some good qualities and neat booths. But I would most certainly not go out of my way to do it again.
  • In the fall we do bluegrass festivals. In between festivals right now. This weekend will be a quilting show near Asheville for the DW.
  • google 'festivals NC' or festivals SC'

    you hit the festivals event site. gives dates/times etc for all festivals in the area. I use it all the time to find quick fun trips around us when we want a fast RV trip in the area and a bit of fun.
  • Seafood festival in Morehead City. I think it starts in a couple of weeks. We always camp at the Koa in Newbern and use it as our home base when we decide to go.
  • Apple Festival in Ellijay Ga, Eat at the Pink Pig. Jimmy Carter has eaten there. also Pooles Barbque
  • Leaving in the morning from Skidaway in Savannah, headed to Charlotte for a few days. From there we will wander to where ever peeks our interest. So...looking for your great ideas, bring it on!
