Ag Fair Delights Crowds on Candy Cane Lane
Candy Cane Lane came to life in the most festive way as the Swain County Agricultural Fair rolled through the 51st Annual Bryson City Christmas Parade, bringing a touch of the farm to the heart of this holiday tradition.
Parade-goers of all ages lined the streets of downtown Bryson City, as the Ag Fair’s cheerful entry made its way down the route, complete with live animals, a tractor, and smiling Ag Fair Committee Members spreading Christmas cheer. The sights and sounds of the season mixed right in with a little country charm and Christmas music sung by Randall Griggs, reminding everyone of the deep agricultural roots that make Swain County feel like home.
Children squealed with excitement as festive giveaways were handed out along the way, from fun button magnets to sweet treats — including, of course, plenty of candy canes. The Ag Fair float quickly became a crowd favorite, drawing waves, laughter, and holiday wishes from spectators bundled up along Candy Cane Lane.
More than just a parade entry, the Ag Fair’s appearance celebrated the spirit of togetherness, tradition, and local pride. By pairing farm life with festive flair, the Swain County Agricultural Fair showcased its commitment to connecting with the community year-round — not just at fair time.
As the tractor rolled on and the last candy cane was passed out, one thing was clear: Candy Cane Lane was a little brighter, sweeter, and more memorable thanks to the Ag Fair’s merry march through Bryson City’s beloved Christmas parade.
