Autumn At Oz

Autumn at Oz atop Beech Mountain promises fun, wonderment for whole family

BEECH MOUNTAIN, NC-October 4 - 5 will bring enchantment and awe back to The Land of Oz as thousands of visitors migrate to Eastern America's Highest Town.

Fans of all ages will join Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and all the characters from the 1939 classic at the peak of Beech Mountain for Autumn at Oz-the town's annual festival celebrating ruby slippers, good and wicked witches, and the Yellow Brick Road. Characters from the original cast may also be on hand-adding to the magic and mystique of the festival.

"Families and fans from across the country come to visit the Oz Museum and soak up the aura that surrounds this event," said Peggy Coscia, executive director of the Beech Mountain Chamber of Commerce. "We'll have music, memorabilia and food vendors on hand for one of the most memorable events in the region."

There are multiple time slots for visitors to enter the festival (10am-12pm, 12-2pm, and 2-5pm on Saturday and after 10:30am on Sunday)-ensuring that families with children won't have to wait in long lines to see their favorite characters.

Tickets are $15.00, and children under 3 will be admitted free of charge. A limited number of tickets will be sold.
