Fun for children and their parents at the 2nd Annual Earth Day Celebration!! While wonderful music fills our ears and moves our feet let's play and celebrate our planet. Activities include face painting, clay sculpture, field day games, and arts and crafts out
of recycled materials. The showcase "re-creation" will be a big sized bug to help us "catch the bug of less human impact on the Earth" and will be in a skit the children create with adult help. So bring recyclables from your home. For instance if you have a lot of tupperware lids with no container bring those?
Got a lot of empty egg cartons? You get the drift. Come out and ENJOY!
RAFFLE! RAFFLE! RAFFLE!
This year we will be hosting our first ever Earth Day raffle.
We will have prizes for the kids, adults, teenagers, outdoorsman, festival goers, and many many more. Tickets will be $5 min
donation per ticket, there will be several winners and the grand
prize winner will receive several prizes turned into one Grand Prize.
We will be giving away REI gift certificates, Hanah Montana Guitars (One acoustic and one Electric), as well as several more prizes to be announced.
Admission is FREE!!!

On Stage This Year
JUST ADDED!!!
Zach Deputy
Hailing from the South Carolina coast, Zach Deputy has infused his earthy blues, roots-rock and soul with hip-hop beats, dance hall rhythms and a bit of the tropical humidity of Calypso and reggae. Maybe it is a natural result of living and performing along the Southeast's beaches for the last four or five years, maybe it is a conscious desire to spice up the intuitive simplicity of his native, regional R&B with the exotic rhythms of the islands.
Deep Pocket Laura Reed and Deep Pocket make their return to where it all started, the music loving city of ASHEVILLE! read more >
Jenn and the Juice
Jen and the Juice wow audiences with a singularly hipster mix of swingy, bluesy, refreshingly original funk and folk. Together in Western North Carolina for more than five years now, their second CD "Meet the Hooligan's of Bohemia" in 2007 hit a home run with fans and earned a juicy spot in WNCW 88.7 FM radio's top 10 regional albums of 2007. Now the Juice is heading into wider territory with a newly released CD "Fruit", an even more dynamic cast of characters and a step up to regional and national touring.
High Windy
The High Windy Band is a look at the future of Bluegrass music. This award winning group's roots run very deep in the traditional sounds they heard growing up and they bring a modern contemporary spin to fantastic original songs. Look for much to come from this tight, energetic 5-piece supergroup.
Sol Driven Train is a band in motion. Perpetually piling on and off the bus, the momentum of their hard work and heart-felt music propels the group upward. At shows, the band members bounce to the pulse of the music along with the crowd. Stylistically the band "seamlessly mixes Allmanesque Southern rock, languid world-beat, swampy funk and downright catchy melodies as they swap lead singers and instruments. A punchy horn section adds an extra dimension of sweaty soul to the genre-blurring jam party."
