Sylva Events and Activities


In downtown Sylva, there is always something to do! Attend a free concert at Bridge Park, take the kids to the town pool or Poteet Park (a playground designed by kids), take a Heritage Photo Walk, Art Stroll or Garden Walk - even challenge yourself to climb the 107 steps to the top of the most photographed courthouse in the state and enjoy a beautiful bird's eye view of Sylva!

The town hosts a variety of festivals and events. A local Farmer's Market gathers weekly at Bridge Park, and local artisans sell their art every weekend at the Jackson Arts Market on Main Street.
