Kidfest at Grandfather Mountain

Looking for something fun to do now that its fall? Grandfather Mountain will be hosting the 9th annual Kidfest on Saturday, September 8th starting at 9:00 am. Not just for kids, the event is a fun-filled day for families to learn more about the nature and culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains. With guided hikes, storytelling, face painting, crafts and games, all ages can enjoy the event in the beautiful setting of Grandfather Mountain.

Getting up close to hawks, owls, and other animals from the Blue Ridge Wildlife Institute at Lees-McRae College, everyone will be able to learn the importance of wildlife in the area and what we can do to protect the local habitat.

The Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation established to preserve Grandfather Mountain, operate the nature park sustainably in the public interest, provide an exceptional experience for guests, and inspire them to be good stewards of the earth’s resources.  For more information, visit www.grandfather.com or call 800-468-7325.
