Autumn Laurel at the Wilderness Trail Festival

Visit Autumn Laurel at the Wilderness Trail Festival

We're excited to be part of the Wilderness Trail Festival, September 19th celebrating Appalachian heritage, craftsmanship, and the traditions that make our region so special. Stop by our booth to experience our handcrafted candles, room & linen sprays, reed diffusers, wax melts, and seasonal home fragrances inspired by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Whether you're searching for the perfect fall candle, a thoughtful gift, or a fragrance that reminds you of home, we'd love to meet you.

The Wilderness Trail Festival

Long before highways crossed the mountains, the Wilderness Road carried thousands of settlers through the Cumberland Gap into the frontier that would become Kentucky. Forged by Daniel Boone and countless unnamed travelers, the trail became one of America's earliest gateways to the West. It was a road of hope, hardship, and new beginnings, connecting communities while shaping the history of Appalachia.

Today, the Wilderness Trail Festival honors that enduring heritage. The festival brings together artisans, musicians, historians, and families to celebrate the traditions that continue to define our mountain communities. Handmade crafts, regional foods, live music, and demonstrations offer visitors a chance to experience the spirit of Appalachia in a way that is both authentic and welcoming.

For makers like Autumn Laurel, festivals such as this are more than places to sell handcrafted goods—they are opportunities to preserve stories. Every candle, fragrance, and label is inspired by the landscapes, homes, kitchens, and quiet moments that have long been part of life in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is a small way of carrying Appalachian traditions into modern homes while honoring the generations that came before us.

Whether you're visiting for the music, the history, the craftsmanship, or simply an afternoon with family, the Wilderness Trail Festival is a reminder that the strongest traditions are the ones we continue to share. We are honored to be part of that story and look forward to welcoming visitors throughout the festival weekend.
