Is there a better way to spend your Saturday then listening to live music, snacking on kettle corn and delicious pastries and strolling down a neighborhood street lined with booths and colorful arts and crafts by Asheville-area artists? The Montford Music and Arts Festival, held on Montford Avenue between Cullowhee and Waneta Street, features all this and more, with live music performed throughout the day until 7 p.m. Come join the fun!
