North Wilkesboro Community Living:
Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Wilkesboro was founded when Norfolk Southern built its terminus railroad depot near the banks of the Yadkin River. Wilkesboro has the best of both worlds with one foot in the high mountains and the other in the foothills. The area is steeped in rich Appalachian history and craft and outdoor recreation. Minutes from the High Country towns of Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk. Wilkesboro will wow you with a newly-revitalized historic downtown, mind-blowing musical talent, stunningly scenic mountain views, heart-pounding outdoor adventures, and Southern small-town charm. Chill out at MerleFest , the annual four-day roots music festival honoring Doc Watson and his son Merle, or get inspired at FaithFest . Kick back in an Adirondack chair and cozy up to a firepit as you enjoy the FREE Concerts in the Commons . Celebrate Carolina in the Fall at the music festival & food truck championship hosted by the Kruger Brothers. Sip your way through more than 50 nearby wineries and distilleries, go “tubbing” down the Yadkin River, shred the 50+ miles of mountain biking trails, or try your luck at one of our three world-class disc golf courses. The town has so much more to offer.
