Experience the “magic” of small town America during Buchanan’s 26th annual, Mountain Magic In Fall Bluegrass, Antiques & Crafts Festival.

Thousands of visitors will flock to downtown exploring more than 100 vendor spaces filled with candles, knitted and crocheted items, wood crafts, furniture, glass, birdhouses, antiques, art, local honey, pumpkins, apples and more fill tables, easels and tents as the incredible smells of sausage, country ham and barbeque fill the air.

A celebration of the Town’s revitalization activities, Mountain Magic in Fall showcases the Town’s historic roots along Main Street where you will find antiques, arts, collectibles as well as restaurants offering good old fashioned southern cooking, pizza and burgers. A jouney through time, Buchanan’s historic buildings date from the early 1800’s through the 1950’s.

Mountain Magic In Fall has grown to be one of the most anticipated festivals in the fall. Readers of the Roanoke Times Botetourt View have voted Mountain Magic In Fall as one of the “Top Community Events” year after year.

Volunteer with Us!

Buchanan simply LOVES our volunteers! The Town of Buchanan produces twenty to thirty events and festivals throughout the year. The successful execution of these events is dependent to a large degree on the generosity of our many volunteers. These dedicated individuals help us set up, sell food and beverages, sell tickets, and, many other duties. We LOVE our volunteers, and, can always use additional help.

While we cannot provide big compensation, we can guarantee lots of fun, the opportunity to meet new people as well as hang out with old friends, free admission, and in some cases, some freebies as well – and always the feeling of being part of the community. Please email us at hgleason@buchanan-va.gov or call at (540) 254-1212 x 4, if you are interested in signing up for or getting more information about volunteering.

This year’s musical and dance performances are sponsored by Bank of Botetourt, serving the community since 1899.

Thank you to Our Sponsor!

Mountain Magic In Fall is one of Buchanan’s biggest events! We spend months preparing and planning and rely on dozens of volunteers to make the event successful. However, our success is also largely dependent upon the continuous support of our sponsors. These businesses and companies make Mountain Magic In Fall possible! They offer financial support, often provide assistance setting up, event marketing, and promotional supplies.

We look forward to working with them year after year and encourage both event attendees and Buchanan residents to patronize these wonderful businesses. It’s important our community invest in those who are so generous and willing to invest in our community! We are so grateful for the support and the opportunity for partnership!
