The Spruce Pine Main Street Coroporation was re-established in January 2000 to promote economic programs designed to strengthen and expand the income potential of all businesses within the trade area: promote programs of civic, social and cultural nature which are designed to increase the functional and aesthetic values of the community. It also promotes the historic preservation, which happened in 2003 when Spruce Pine was designated a Historic Town by the National Register.
Spruce Pine Main Street strives to make our downtown highly visible to the public by promoting and advertising a positive image which attracts consumers and investors and instills community pride. They work to enhance the visual quality of buildings, signs, window displays, and public areas. We strive to show a tangible commitment to revitalization.
Through the efforts of Spruce Pine Main Street and the Town of Spruce Pine, beautiful art work is displayed in our town for the pleasure of all to enjoy.
Riverside Park, located on the banks of the Toe River has been developed, groomed for walking and enjoyed by ballplayers alike. Beautiful artwork is standing on the walking path for your delight. Each July the Toe River Storytelling Festival is held in the park for the enjoyment of the young and old.
Join everyone downtown in October for the Mineral City Heritage Festival (formerly the Hillbilly Heritage Festival). Crafters bring their wares to sale; you'll see apple butter being made; enjoy those homemade fried apple pies; listen to the music and tap your toe to live music while you enjoy good food and fun.
And make sure to join us in April for the second annual Fire On The Mountain Festival!
Never a dull moment in Downtown Spruce Pine!
