Holidays in the High Country

Blowing Rock and the surrounding areas are a Winter Wonderland during the Holiday Season.

The High Country Host says: "Like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting, Blowing Rock is the destination if you want to experience a picturesque small town Christmas. Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Blowing Rock is a great place to make holiday memories while shopping, dining and taking in the lights and music of the season."
