VALLE CRUCIS COMMUNITY PARK

Home to popular events like Music in the Valle, Valle Crucis Community Park is a 28-acre nonprofit space in the High Country, built and maintained as a gathering place where residents and visitors can relax outdoors. It offers trails, open green areas, playgrounds, river access, and environmental education opportunities, all set along the Watauga River.

PEARL'S KITCHEN + TINY MARKET

Pearl’s Kitchen + Tiny Market is located in Valle Crucis, right next to the original Mast General Store. They offer fresh made-from-scratch items, coffee & pastries, soups, salads, sandwiches, and local NC goods. The market section also carries grab-and-go picnic fixtures, beer & wine, and unique market finds, making it a go-to spot for casual meals or picking up something special.
