88th Annual Mountain Dance and Folk Festival
The nation’s longest running folk festival. The 88th annual edition of this
three-day event showcases the best of the region’s old-time and bluegrass
musicians, mountain dance groups, cloggers, and ballad singers. A different show
is presented every night, beginning at 7:00 PM at Diana Wortham Theatre at Pack Place
in downtown Asheville NC.
The Mountain Dance and Folk Festival showcases performances by hundreds of the Southern Appalachians' best traditional mountain musicians and dancers. Bound by the tradition of "Along About Sundown" these gatherings call to mind, and continue the tradition, of the era when local folks of all ages regularly gathered at the end of the day on front porches and the like, with fiddles, banjos and guitars in hand and dancing feet at the ready. Celebrate the treasured cultural heritage of Western North Carolina throughout the weekend, organized by Asheville's Folk Heritage Committee.
