The historic town of Cumberland Gap is playing host to “Last Saturday in September” where all manner of regional antiques, arts and crafts will be the drawing card to a fun-filled day. The event, slated for Sept. 25, will be held rain or shine.

Those spearheading the event are expecting in excess of 20 tri-state area vendors, whose wares will line the streets of Colwyn and Lynn Avenues.

Local shops will be open to provide an experience not unlike what can be had on a daily basis inside the quaint town.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the shops remaining open until 5 p.m. or later. Parking is always free.

Several local restaurants will be available throughout the day and into the evening hours, allowing the option to dine in or take out. A local food truck will be on site during the event as well.

You might want to top off your day with a Ghostly Tour of the Gap on Saturday evening. While you’re at it, why not just book a room at one of the lodgings in town and soak up that last drop of Gap appeal.

The Guardians of the Gap, who is spearheading this event, is a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The nonprofit combats community deterioration, erects and/or maintains public community spaces and organizes, plans and hosts community related events. Its members work to increase the visibility, attractiveness and quality of life for the local community as a whole and supports strategic short-term and long-term planning. The organization also provides educational and informational resources about the history of Cumberland Gap, all in an effort to combat community deterioration and lessen neighborhood tensions.
