Join in the celebration and discover the nation's longest running
folk festival. Founded by Bascom Lamar Lunsford in 1928, the Festival
showcases an amazing repertoire of mountain performers who share songs
and dances that echo centuries of Scottish, English, Irish, Cherokee
and African heritage. Each evening is a joyful exploration of the rich
culture found in the valleys and coves between the Great Smokies and
the Blue Ridge Mountains. Presented at Diana Wortham Theatre at Pack
Place in downtown Asheville, Thursday July 30 - Saturday August 1, 2009
