Festival of Lights and Luminaries

The Festival of Lights and Luminaries is in Dillsboro (Jackson County- next one over).  I live 30 minutes or so from there.  The town is so cute and pretty, especially during the festival.  The shops are also lit up and stay open later on festival nights (two nights each over two weekends).  We went in one store with a guitarist and passed by a shop with a band.  Some of the businesses have treats for visitors to enjoy.  We went in the Fudge Factory and the general store (with an ice cream counter...cute!), among others.  A friend from high school, who now lives here, accompanied me.  I highly recommend checking out the festival if you're ever here at Christmas.  Checking out Christmas lights in cute downtown areas was on my top 10 list (list update will follow soon).
