The Mountain Fair is West Virginia’s mid-winter celebration of the way of life that makes up its unique blend of ethnic and cultural heritage. This Fair pays tribute to the mountain traditions that have been passed from generation to generation of West Virginia artisans, craftspeople, and musicians. Some visitors love traditional music and some are yet to be introduced to the old-time fiddle, flat pick guitar, mandolin, blue grass banjo, and dulcimer tunes. Either way, the Mountain Fair created excitement and new memories at a time of year when many people feel winter doldrums.
