The Gathering happens over a weekend in July at Webb Music Shop—a place where working musicians have gathered for decades. You'll hear stage music all day and night, go to workshops taught by musicians who know the tunes, and hear informal jams happening in porches and corners.

It's designed to be accessible—affordable tickets, family-friendly, and a place where you can come as a listener, a student, a performer, or just someone who wants to be around the music and the people keeping it alive in this part of the country.

The festival is proudly supported by Hope in the Hills / Healing Appalachia. We are grateful for their support of this community-centered event.
