Stroll the streets of downtown and find your own small piece of Burnsville. Discover the perfect antique, clothing or a pair of shoes, jewelry, or a unique piece of art. Our pedestrian friendly Main Street and Town Square attract more shops and shoppers each year, from high-end items such as furniture and home decor, to the new mountain styles that are as fashionable as they are comfortable to wear.
In-season, family-owned farms offer locally grown and hand-crafted products at the Yancey County Farmers Market. Farmers provide fresh vegetables, plants, pasture raised meats, and more. New permanent West Main Street location—now open!
