After a 4-year relocation to make way for park renovations, Shindig on the Green returns to its original location in Asheville's new Pack Square Park. The stage shows will take place on the beautiful new Bascom Lamar Lunsford Stage, named for the founder of the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival, the nation's longest running folk festival.

The Shindig, now in its 44th year, showcases performances by hundreds of Southern Appalachian's best traditional mountain musicians and dancers. Bound by the tradition of "along about sundown", these gatherings continue our long tradition of the era when local folks of all ages gathered on the neighbor's front porch to pick and sing and dance. Bring your instruments, your lawn chairs, and your family and friends to this celebration of our mountain musical roots, sponsored by Asheville's Folk Heritage Committee.
