4th Quarter Events (October – December)

Hearthwarming Holidays

Some traditions don’t come wrapped in paper… they’re handed down, shared with a smile, and tucked away in your heart forever.

Come home to Waynesville this November for Hearthwarming Holidays, where the weekend feels like a page from your favorite story book. Our historic downtown will be glowing with twinkling lights and lined with shops dressed in their holiday best. You’ll find new treasures, old-fashioned hospitality, and the kind of joy you can only find in a small town.

One of our most cherished traditions returns…
As you stroll from shop to shop, you’ll collect recipe cards just like the ones Grandma kept in a worn tin box on the kitchen shelf. These sweet, savory little keepsakes are more than just directions… they’re memories, lovingly shared, and meant to be passed on.

Bring the family. Bring a friend. Or come just as you are.  Let the season begin where it always should with warmth, wonder, and the feeling of coming home.
