Smoky Mountain Folk Festival

The 37th Annual Smoky Mountain Folk Festival is August 29 & 30, 2008. Featuring two nights of the finest traditional Southern Appalachian music and dance the Smoky Mountain Folk Festival is held annually Labor Weekend in Stuart Auditorium at Lake Junaluska, NC.

Both nights of the Smoky Mountain Folk Festival include a rich variety of the region's finest fiddlers, banjo players, string bands, ballad singers, buck dancers, square dance teams as well as the marvelous sounds of dulcimer, harmonica, jew's harp, bagpipes, spoons, saws, and folk ensembles of all sorts.

Past performers at the Smoky Mountain Folk Festival have included David Holt, Cockman Family, Whitewater Bluegrass Company, Trantham Family, Phil and Gay Johnson and Betty Smith just to name a few.

Each night starting at 5 p.m. there will be cool watermelon and a full range of refreshments available adjacent to Stuart Auditorium. And perhaps best of all, the Smoky Mountain Folk Festival performers will be sharing tunes and "jamming" under the big tents on the grounds from around 5 p.m. to near midnight. A special Smoky Mountain Folk Festival show for children featuring songs, stories, and unique acts for the young at heart will be staged each evening at 5 p.m. under the big tent in front of the auditorium. These activities outside of Stuart Auditorium are free to all.
